 shortdesc: Synchronizing map state with the URL.
 docs: >
   The `Link` interaction allows you to synchronize the map state with the URL.
+  The view center, zoom level, and rotation will be reflected in the URL as you
+  navigate around the map.  Layer visibility is also reflected in the URL.
+  Reloading the page restores the map view state.
