That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. But, I'm also looking for something a little different. With a link like that you get the data of the dataset, but I'd like a link that would get me into the main galaxy 3-column display with that dataset somehow displayed. So, I'd be seeing the page with the main header, the tools on the left, something in the middle, and on the right, the dataset would appear somewhere in the history--either alone as a new history, in the context of some existing history where it already resides, or ...? This way, I can not just download but also work with it further in Galaxy Hope this makes it clearer. Michael

I want to construct a link into galaxy that will show a particular dataset. The use case is that I have an external resource that references a galaxy dataset, and I want to provide a way to link to it. I will need to create these links fairly frequently to various datasets.
Hi Michael,
Datasets can be linked to directly via the url for the 'eye' icon, for example:
http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/datasets/399681/display/index
Although you may be trying to do something more here, but I am not understanding the question. Can you clarify if this is the case?
Thanks, --nate
