Setting Workflow via SmartLink

Hi guys, bit of an odd one here.

Our client is looking to leverage SmartLinks once their 8.5 upgrade is complete. We are doing testing in their Development environment and have the SmartLinks up and running (mostly) as expected. 

Our SmartLink navigates the user to a specific dashboard, but the dashboard is WF driven. On top of that, when opening OS in the Web, it defaults the WF to the WF the user was most recently in. 

I know SmartLinks is a new feature, but was wondering if anyone had any intel on how far the code can go. We prepopulate parameters with the generated link, can Workflows (Profile, Scenario, Year) be set the same way? 

It doesn't seem like it. Not sure how I would go about this issue going forward, however.

Thanks
