metismenue allows a proper opening and expanding on a page. When I reload or call another page I loose all states and the menu is reset.

Target:

When I open a new page by link I want that the menu shall be opened at the same level as I left it with the page before e.g. I have a main point A and three subpoints A.1 A.2 A.3 and click on A.3 which opens a new page by link I want to pass a kind of parameter like in a session or by URL so that the following page knows which sections to open and which point to highlight.

I am fine with URL / Session etc. but I have no idea how to tell metismenu a kind of parameter what to display e.g. giving it an ID for every point and set this ID to active?

Any hint is highly appreciated and please on a very simple level as I am not firm in Javascript.
