This is not true. I'm sorry I posted that without double checking
first. The link actually has mp=myprofile rather than
sf=addl_category/se=MIGSG100.

Further, I can put all the criteria inside the search profile and only
specify the profile in the [area scan ...] tag.
See, what I really want to do is use the search profile in the area
link. I want to set a complex link type using the mp argument. The
idea is to have the area link take into account a scratch variable set
on the page.
