There is a big problem when you create a query from a existing URL: you cannot edit it using the rich query configuration dialog. The only workaround is to paste the URL in browser, edit using the web UI, and change it in Mylyn. The mylyn query editor should be able to reverse engineer the query and create a query model able to be edited in Mylyn, even guessing the repository.
It might be a good idea, however the major point of the "query from URL" is to be able to use query that you can't actually create using query configuration dialog. So, after editing such query you'll lose all parameters not supported byt that dialog.

Actually that is not what I meant. If your contain any unsupported parameters, it should not allow to edit it in the dialog.
How about a UI that allows to populate the search form from a URL. This could be a simple as adding a button to the query form.
