## The idea behind the example

Next.js allows using [Node.js URL objects](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_strings_and_url_objects) as `href` and `as` values for `<Link>` component and parameters of `Router#push` and `Router#replace`.

This simplify the usage of parameterized URLs when you have many query values.
