Right now all the initial values are pulled from the POST values not GET, however this 
should be a simple change. Open templates/new.tpl.html and replace all references to 
"$smarty.post"  with "$smarty.request", this will let the template pull from both GET and 
POST. Then just pass the field names on the URL.

I tested this on the summary field and it worked, if you change and test it on all fields 
I would appreciate a patch on launchpad and a page on our wiki if you have time.

Best Regards,
