I would rewrite it, personally. Yes, rewriting the customizations will be a
pain, but not biting the bullet now will leave the application in a
potential error prone state.
You can pass via the URL (as you have indicated), if you desire. It is one
way of going back and forth. But, you also have to link Sessions (possible,
but painful) and a few other things, unless you have no authentication on
the site. If you need a temporary solution, passing via QueryString (on the
URL) will work.
Plus, you have probably learned more about your business and have some flows
that are not that great. It would be better to do it right instead of
band-aiding the whole thing. Just my two cents.
