Follow-up: Navigating back from the edit file to the merge request should take user back to the file diff
The following discussion from !227015 should be addressed: - [ ] `@mle` started a [discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/227015#note_3161475179): (+1 comment) > **suggestion** When navigating back to the merge request, it would be nice if we could go back to the specific file diff that you initiated the action from > > The link exists as it would be similar to the one that exist when you get the link from the browser while on the Changes tab > ![CleanShot_2026-03-16_at_16.14.58](/uploads/91e9272f941e0209991b91b8bde49b21/CleanShot_2026-03-16_at_16.14.58.png){width=415 height=259} This was not something possible at the time https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/227015#note_3163083462 >>> That won't be possible at the moment. When navigating to the single file editor, we only pass the merge request iid as an additional param in the URL. I think we can change this, when the ~"rapid diffs" is enabled in merge requests, as they will have "_Copy link to the file_" option that we can pass to the blob edit header. >>>
