I created a very experimental solution, which allows to 
write the following URL:

<scarabHost>/scarab/issues/query/<queryId>

and get to the correct query. The problem i have are:

1.) You need to know the queryId. 
You can get it by inspecting the URL's on the query editor

2.) Currently the feature is integrated into ScarabRequestTool.
It may belong at another place. I have the strong feeling, that
the search subsystem of Scarab needs a major rework...

Note: Sometimes it is necesssary to also specify the module id
in order to get over a permission problem, which denies access
to a query if the user has no permission to read some modules even
if the current query does only use modules for which the user has 
read permission. This looks like a bug in the permissions calculation.
