如何最小化检票口中生成的网址？

Question

For example, there is a table on the page. The table is in the tab. The tab is in the panel and so on. The result is a hierarchy of dozens of components. In the table there is the column, and in the column there is some kind of component with a link, for example column sorter.

As a result, this link has very large URL, something like:

http://localhost:8080/mypage?5-1.-body-centerPanel-files-roll_down-panel-files-panel-repeater-3-item-form-table-topToolbars-toolbars-2-headers-2-header-orderByLink&id=94819

In fact the URL can reach several hundred characters.

Is there a way to minify this URL to a reasonable size?

I would like to achieve a URL like this:

http://localhost:8080/mypage?sdsi93rh&id=94819

There are many articles in the web how to do url shortening. Here is one
