Passing a default parameter to a view and carry throughout the "Add a Record" function of that view

Passing a default parameter to a view and carry throughout the "Add a Record" function of that view

I am using a calendar view and was successfully able to add criteria to filter the view by passing a parameter through the URL.  When I use "add" to add a record to the view the form pop opens and the lookup dropdown is not pre-populated with the value that i passed/filtered on.  It seems it does not get passed from the view to the popup form.  Is there a way to ensure this parameter gets passed to the "Add" functionality?
