I would love it if each page in the Plesk UI had its own URL
We are a webhosting reseller, so I often log in to Plesk needing to inspect and modify multiple subscriptions at the same time, in different browser tabs. Viewing multiple sites is hard and modifying multiple sites is impossible: Plesk's URLs don't record which subscription (or domain, etc.) is being viewed, so when I open up a form to change properties of site A, then switch to viewing something about site B, then want to actually make the modifications to site A, Plesk gets all confused and assumes I want to modify site B. I'm bitten by this all the time and as far as I'm concerned it's a design error in the UI. Please fix it, it will make my work with Plesk a lot easier as I will need to click around a lot less.

I don't understand what isn't clear about this request. Copying from https://www.reddit.com/r/webhosting/comments/1cg8znc/comment/la86fz5/ :
Plesk's interface violates REST. Most of its URLs do not identify the resources they operate on. This makes it impossible to work on multiple items at the same time. For instance, say you want to edit the properties of a subscription. You start editing them, then you open a new window to browse to a different subscription to inspect its properties, you switch back to the first window and press Save... whoops, it's the properties of the second subscription that have been modified. For me, this is an inexcusable user interface design error; if the URLs contained the subscription IDs, this wouldn't be an issue at all. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have hundreds of subscriptions, but we do, and we have to work around this limitation all the time.
