are sexy urls in administrative apps useful?

this is all about web apps, desktop apps are another matter]
ok, so here is my definition of an administrative app:


CRUD + some logic
all the data is private, all the access is restricted, everything lives

behind the login screen.


so, if I have a url like


server/app/table/action/parameters


I have various advantages, for instance,


I can bookmark stuff, so that I can comeback later and continue to work

on it (a record, or a view state* perhaps),


I can also send links to my cop-workers, so they see the same
information that I do, also,


I can save all kinds of checks (are there any registers of the X table,

that have Y condition available?), I can save various links, a list of
links, that imply a proccess, etc.


* table name, search criteria, sort order, page number, etc.


so, in this context, do you think that users would benefit from sexy
urls, that store a session's state, so it can b retrieved later, or do
you think that "users won't even use it, they'll retype serach
criteria, etc"

.
