starting a conversation then clicking a link or other navigation should allow hitting the back button to the conversation. currently it loads the empty state. probably wants some history.pushState building on top of bug 2009866?

a few weeks ago i took an initial look at this after we switched from uri with hash to data-conversation-id where basically it checked for history.state if lacking a conversation id:

https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/b824aa1f1416b2e3675f7561cb58f5568f4f156a/browser/components/aiwindow/ui/components/ai-window/ai-window.mjs#131

   #getPendingConversationId() {
+    return hostBrowser?.getAttribute("data-conversation-id") ?? window.history.state?.conversationId;

and a setter helper whenever we updated the conversation

+  set conversation(value) {
+    this.#conversation = value;
+    window.history.replaceState(
+      { ...window.history.state, conversationId: value?.id },
+      ""
+    );

although a bit has changed with conversation state since bug 2012536 and bug 2015921
