I created a new action called Single to facilitate opening single kaiten panels by accessing a URL. In order to use it, you have to specify the action, the action parameters and an optional kTitle. For example, to directly open mapping tool with specified parameters, you can access

/Single.action?action=DoMapping.action&transformationId=1077&kTitle=Mapping+Tool

This will redirect to:

/Home.action?kConnector=html.page&url=DoMapping.action%3F%26transformationId%3D1077&kTitle=Mapping+Tool

which is essentially the same. The added value is that you can type the url without worrying about escaped characters in the url.
