mapillary links with rotation and zoom

When linking to an image via the mapillary= key typically the link is just to an image id e.g. the full image.

With 360° imagery its getting difficult. Are you referring to the right or the left side of the road? So a street lamp may be ambigous.

In the panoramax key discussion page there was the idea to also use x/y and zoom as additional parameters to have the correct rotation and zoom in the link aswell.

So i quickly tried and it works - at least in josm.

iD does not offer a link anymore in the Fields as it seems it does some url key value validation, and when its not numerical it simply does not produce a link. A wise security decision, but needs some love.

Also the mapillary josm plugin does not offer to set a link with x/y and zoom so for now its a manual task.

So just the ball rolling i opened issues:

The very same issue of course applies to panoramax image uuids aswell.
