title: How can I pass data through a link using just javascript and HTML?
body: <p>I have a website where I have a list of names and I need to open up a new page when a name is clicked. I need this page to display data from the name clicked, so I'm going to need to pass some data through the link. This could be done with PHP, but can I do it with just HTML and Javascript? There has to be a way to handle dynamic content without server-side logic.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I'd like to clarify that the entire purpose of this website is to use an existing website's API in a way that is more streamlined. I just want to tweak their setup and as such writing server logic seems excessive, since I need no persistent data (use the API for that). This question is about how I should pass the API data around the various pages of this custom front end.</p>
