Currently thymeleaf thinks that the & in the url should be followed by an ';' character.

Exception message:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity "media" must end with the ';' delimiter.

Is there any way to get rid of the & signs and still have a functional url? Or is there any way to tell thyemleaf to 'overlook' the & signs in the url?

Instead of & you should use the entity &amp; to encode your url like:

href="www.myurl.com?param1=value&amp;param2=value"

Or build it using Link URL Expression @{...} with parameters:

th:href="@{www.myurl.com(param1=${'value1'},param2=${'value2'})}"

It's not only a Thymeleaf matter. You can find a detailed explanation here: Do I really need to encode & as &amp;?)
