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.

There are several Server Event could trigger Method during item promotion: ItemType: OnBeforePromote, OnAfterPromote; Life Cycle: Transition Pre, Transition Post. Trigger sequence of above events is shown in below figure: It's important to note that "Transition Post" cannot rollback while exception throws because item promotion is finished after "OnAfterPromote" That means even if throwing exception, the life cycle will still stay at promoted state. Please note, all above events will not be triggered when "OnPromote" event exists (due to this will overwrite original system process).
