passing parameters through html documents

I would like to be able to have a link in my document-1 like:

<a href="document-2.html#field1=value1">...

Document-2 might be a form or contain a reference
to a cgi script like:

<a href="myscript.pl&field2=value2">...

but the script would actually receive:

QUERY_STRING=feild1=value1&field2=value2

In this way the input data could be accumulated
from several list choices. I frequently have a general
script to look up a database but find my self
in a position where I either have to have several
different forms all with a different hidden field value
or I can use a single form but have to ask the user 
to fill in a field which only has one logical value 
in the situation.

Sorry if this idea has already been discussed
or if there is a more elegant solution
I would be greatful if somebody pointed me to it.
