@user1463105 - There is nothing in my answer about query strings. I think you mean this comment for the other answer. – Jamiec Apr 02 '14 at 14:04

You can try

<a href="lastpage.html?page=navigate">lastpage</a>

And check query in JS - How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

Beyond other answers, you can always store some values (like source URL) in local storage (per session, or per client), sessionStorage.setItem("source", "b.html");.

... but you said you use it already, so some chunk of bytes are reserved anyway, and we are talking here about additional 100 character? – IProblemFactory Apr 02 '14 at 14:03
