Description

The page parameter of PageLink does only accept a string. This means that the page containing this PageLink has to know the corresponding logical page name. Accepting a page-class would be more typesafe and refactoring friendly. Further if we could use an injected and propely configured page instance for the page parameter, the PageLink component could easily calculate the activation context from the corresponding onPassivate() method.
