Parallel or double routing

[tamtakoe]

Sometimes we need double routing. Especially if we have popup. E.g. we have pages: /videos, /articles/123, /group/bbc and we have video: /video/345. We need one page link with video link: e.g. /group/bbc/!/video/345 or /videos~/video/345 when ! or ~ mean start of second route. (http://vk.com)

Next problem. Sometimes we need only video link when the video popup open from some page. E.g. we are into /articles/123, we open video popup and path in address bar become /video/345. /video/345 is link to separate video page and we go to this page if place this link in adress bar, but we don't go to this page when we have open popup. When we close popup we return /articles/123 in adress bar. (http://fb.com)

This feature is not currently implemented and may not be for quite some time because its very tricky. If you figure something out please let us know. Pretty sure you are talking about Orthogonal Views. Something like this? #160

Yes, it is. But my second case has simple desidion: write something in address bar without state changing (and recovery url from current state). First case I offer to do in this way:
url: /segm_1/123/~segm_2/456/~segm_3/789

.state('state1', {
  url: 'segm_1/:id1',
  ...
})
.state('.state2', {
  url: '~segm_2/:id2',
  ...
})
.state('.state3', {
  url: '~segm_3/:id3',
  ...
})
.separator('~')

it equivalent

.state('state1', {
  url: 'segm_1/:id',
  ...
})
.state('state1.state2', {
  url: 'segm_1:id1/segm_2/:id2',
  ...
})
.state('state1.state3', {
  url: 'segm_1:id1/segm_3/:id3',
  ...
})
.state('state1.state2.state3', {
  url: 'segm_1:id1/segm_2/:id2/segm_3/:id3',
  ...
})
.state('state1.state3.state2', {
  url: 'segm_1:id1/segm_3/:id3/segm_2/:id2',
  ...
})
