Serialising state and query in a URL

Assuming to describe a web application with a statechart, should we desire to share its state, how can we express it in the URL without relying on a server or hashing the state?

Can we make the current state of the application explicit and possibly user-friendly?

Can we also separate the current state of the app from the query and the actual data? For example: if we share a URL after having interacted with a chart, selecting people aged from 35 to 50 and living in France:

• the state is selected (as opposed for example to unselectedor idle),
