It looks like you can specify a tool or workflow to jump straight to
but not a history.

The following pull request(https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/725) extends this functionality to include histories. You will need the encoded history ID as returned by the workflow and
history API to use this – e.g. on my test laptop the following URL
worked to switch histories after applying the patch in the pull
request – http://localhost:8080/root?history_id=1cd8e2f6b131e892.

Hope this helps,
-John
