Answer 1

I had to deal with the same thing and I know at least two solutions - one is "dirty" and the other one is a "clean":
1. dirty - replace ':' (colon) with ';' (semicolon) and pass that value using URL. On the page, where your item(s) is, create a computation using REPLACE(P1_ITEM, ';', ':') on load and before header.
2. clean - as Scott says and it works in many cases - pass only a primary key and a request to your target page and create there a procedure to fetch the values you need and populate the items
If you use the documentation and search on keywords "COMPUTATION" and "REQUEST", you will find a lot of usefull information.
