Hi.

Having this in an official view helper would induce people to a bad  
programming style IMHO.
Actually such information should be stored in a Session (or you use  
javascript:history.back();).

Don't get me wrong: There is nothing wrong if you'd like to use the url  
for that - that's ok - and fluid (and extbase) should actually support  
that. Using a backPid in the url is actually a very simple way to achieve  
your goal. But I don't think fluid should propagate such style of  
programming. Additionally I don't see why a fluid ViewHelper should  
support yet another parameter just to achieve something you could as well  
do by adding a value in the parameters array.

Christian.
