It is when people start replying on specific query parameter values to drive behavior that I start to worry about their solution breaking sometime down the road.

It works the same way except that if you ever use these fields in a related list, they will not load properly and instead just pop into the hover. I wouldn't submit this as a paper for dreamforce. salesforce generally scoffs at url techniques like this as they are undocumented and unsupported. They won't work on mobile (for example). That all being said, I use this technique all the time. It works great. Instead of using “_self”, use “_top”.

Another tricky part with tracking metrics is to connect the "25% increase" to real campaign or evaluation data, and to evaluate whether goals are met based on metrics being reached. Rich Saunders will be showing something like this at the User's Group tomorrow if you can make it - a flexible metrics/indicators/outcomes evaluation "engine" based on Survey Shark.
