   @chunhtai, please, any updates on this as this elaborates a very practical usecase.

   you can already do this with

   GoRoute(
     path: ':prefix/details',
   )

   @chunhtai Thanks. Can you point me to some expressive documentation/resource on this to grasp a proper usecase.

    you can also use regex with path parameter

    GoRoute(
      path: ':prefix(\d+)/details',      // prefix can only be digits
    )

    Use case

    I'm developing an application that has a page that can be accessed via multiple locations: The page is DetailsPage and is accessible from HomePage and ListPage

    For now to access it I need to define two routes: /home/details and /list/details

    Which gives the following code

    GoRoute(
      path: '/',
      // ...
      routes: [
        GoRoute(
          path: 'home',
          routes: [
            GoRoute(path:'details'),
          ]
        ),
        GoRoute(
          path: 'list',
          routes: [
            GoRoute(path:'details'),
          ]
        ),
      ]
    )

    It duplicates the route declaration and is not ideal at all. (It is ok when the route has only two access points but what if it has 10 or not event a pre determined number?)

    Proposal

    A solution to that would be to be able to declare some GoRoutes as accessible from multiple points. Either allowing for something like

    // Re usable subroute route
    GoSubRoute(
      path: 'details',
      accessibleFrom: ['/home', '/list'],
    )

    Or even using wildcard or regexp

    GoRoute(
      path: '*/details',
    )

    That last solution has the advantage of allowing the opening of any stack of pages from a deeplink (for example /home/list/details) without having to define all the possible routes as it is required today.
