OK, thanks thats nice.
But unfortunately it works only with permalink (ie. longlinks). If I add 
the marker and choose shortlink in the new window, I still get the view 
with no marker at all... :-(

Yes, please keep proposing. :-)
I miss this feature since a very long time and IMHO this is a very basic 
feature...
