This seems to be the only possible solution at the moment. For now, I'll 
either circumvent this or I'll create two additional viewHelpers 
(uri.page and link.page) who can be feeded with such an array and will 
array_merge with other additionalParams. This is a ugly workaround:
- It does not solve the real problem
- It is not generic
- It bloats my php with stuff it shouldn't handle

Imho it makes sense to somehow enable parsing of the 'array-keys' as 
well, but looking at the parser class this does not seem to be a trivial 
task (at least for me).

And it is useful: Just think of a form with several elements and input 
fields. With POST, this is no problem, you create something like this is 
a <f:for> loop:
<f:input ... name="tx_myext_pi1[articles][{currentItem.uid}][amount]" 
value="{currentItem.amount}" />
Now you want to have the same as GET link for a specific item using the 
link or uri page viewhelper -> currently impossible.
