Help w/ ADF UIX event parameters

Question

Is there any way to add a parameter when firing an event like this:
==========code=============
<link text=" Accounts "
destination="${ctrl:eventUrl(uix,'changePage')}"/>
===========================
Bellow is how I used to fire events using a link but since the production release of 10g that doesn't work anymore. Destination is now required and when specified the <fireAction> content is ignored and when it's not specified, the link is dead (not clickable)
==========code=============
<link text=" Section1 " destination="">
<primaryClientAction>
<fireAction event="changePage" formSubmitted="false"
unvalidated="true">
<parameters>
<parameter key="destPage" value="Section1Page"/>
</parameters>
</fireAction>
</primaryClientAction>
</link>

Hi -
Is there any way to add a parameter when firing an
event like this:
==========code=============
<link text=" Accounts "
destination="${ctrl:eventUrl(uix,'changePage')}"/>
===========================I don't think we have a EL function which specifically deals with query parameters, but in a pinch you could do something along the lines of:
destination="${ui:concat(ctrl:eventUrl(uix,'changePage'), '&amp;amp;destPage=Section1Page')}"/
Bellow is how I used to fire events using a link
but since the production release of 10g that doesn't
work anymore. Destination is now required and when
specified the <fireAction> content is ignored and
when it's not specified, the link is dead (not
clickable)
==========code=============
<link text=" Section1 " destination="">
<primaryClientAction>
<fireAction event="changePage"
formSubmitted="false"
unvalidated="true">
<parameters>
<parameter key="destPage" value="Section1Page"/>
</parameters>
</fireAction>
</primaryClientAction>

I was able to verify that there is a regression in fireAction behavior. A simple fireAction like this:
<link text="Test">
  <primaryClientAction>
    <fireAction event="changePage" formSubmitted="false"/>
  </primaryClientAction>
</link>...no longer works unless a destination is specified. The same ClientAction works just fine if formSubmitted="true". I have logged a bug against UIX to track this issue. In the meantime, it seems like you could specify the empty string as your destination - in which case I believe that the event will be delivered back to the same page. Or, if you need to explicitly specify a page, perhaps you could use a combination of ctrl:pageUrl() and fireAction, eg:
<link text=" Section1 "
      destination="${ctrl:pageUrl(uix,'testPage')}">">
  <primaryClientAction>
    <fireAction event="changePage" formSubmitted="false" unvalidated="true">
      <parameters>
        <parameter key="destPage" value="Section1Page"/>
      </parameters>
    </fireAction>
  </primaryClientAction>
