Joomla - Add Get Variables to Menu Item Link

Question

I made a custom component and I'm trying to make the menu item link add &id=x, however I can't seem to find any documentation on how to make this work. The field is read only, but even then I would still want it to be automated (similar to how adding an article works). It will be taking a value from a parameter field. Any help is appreciated!

Found the answer in this thread towards the bottom.

It's also important to note that the params to be added to the link need to be out of the params, like so.

<state>
    <name>Standard Page Layout</name>
    <url>
        <param name="id" type="text" default="0" label="Page ID" description="The ID of the page to view." />
    </url>
    <params>
    </params>
</state>

The following is incorrect.

<state>
    <name>Standard Page Layout</name>
    <params>
    <url>
        <param name="id" type="text" default="0" label="Page ID" description="The ID of the page to view." />
    </url>
    </params>
</state>
