But location/tag combinations could:

   ?bbox=$SOME-STREET$&amenity=restaurant&cuisine=italian

could link to *any* restaurant in this place,

   ?bbox=$SOME-CITY$&amenity=restaurant&operator=fred

could link to *your* restaurant - this also works, if fred's going to 
open a whole restaurant chain,

   ?bbox=$SOME-CITY$&amenity=restaurant&name=Chez%20Fred

could link to *a specific* restaurant somewhere in the city.
