Open particular item with system link in Aras Innovator

We know that everything in Aras Innovator is an item. In order to freely use, particular item could be automatically opened after user login.
The main entry of Aras Innovator is "Innovator.aspx", so the system link looks like below:

http://Server Name/Web Alias/Client/X-salt=std_11.0.0.6549-X/scripts/Innovator.aspx

The field of query string is "StartItem", and its value consists of ItemType, colon, and item's id.

Innovator.aspx?StartItem=ItemType:Item's id

Below picture shows a scenario to open a "Part" whose id is "0298334919634D35B718E06DE19642C0". Suppose user doesn't login yet, login page will display while enter a link. After user login, that Part item will open automatically.

If user already login, there will be an existing session in browser's window used for first login. So, user will get below message, and the item will be opened in that window.
