Right now, all the osu!direct URLs link to a beatmap set instead of a specific difficulty. So when you press 'Go to map' in osu!direct, it will redirect you to one of the beatmaps in the set, instead of a specified difficulty.

If you're sorting by one of the filters that groups all of the difficulties together (e.g. Artist, BPM, etc.), it's not so much of a problem, since you can just go down or up a couple and find the difficulty you were looking for right away, but when you sort by a filter that doesn't, such as sorting by difficulty, you'll have to search for the beatmap regardless and defies the nice quick two-click-go-play-yay feature of osu!direct. :(

So my request; osu!direct URLs that point to a specific beatmap/difficulty (like osu://b/150093 instead of osu://dl/48552). Much like how /np links in chat point straight to the right difficulty. This would also allow programmers to point straight to the right beatmap instead of the beatmapset.

Similar to p/2314004? Although that request didn't mention whether it'll open difficulty or mapset.

No, he asks for a way to open the osu!direct panel on the song selection screen, so he can redownload the song without having to go to chat, typing /np and clicking the link to open the panel. My request is for osu:// URLs that are specific to a beatmap instead of a beatmap set. Similar to how http://osu.ppy.sh/s/1234 points to a beatmap set and http://osu.ppy.sh/b/12345 points to a specific beatmap (difficulty in a beatmap set)

Right, I misunderstood sorry =.=

A link like osu://dl/setid/beatmapid would also be fine, but I'd really appreciate a way to control which beatmap the player lands on.

Nonspecific links are also an issue on multiplayer match info page (makes it hard to tell what map out of a set was played after a match). I made a request about that here a few weeks ago. Seems like something that might be related to implement.
