you can access different portions of the URL that the app is loaded on.

id (string; required):
The ID of this component, used to identify dash components in
callbacks. The ID needs to be unique across all of the components in
an app.

pathname (string; optional):
pathname in window.location - e.g., “/my/full/pathname”.

search (string; optional):
search in window.location - e.g., “?myargument=1”.

hash (string; optional):
hash in window.location - e.g., “#myhash”.

href (string; optional):
href in window.location - e.g.,
“/my/full/pathname?myargument=1#myhash”.

refresh (a value equal to: ‘callback-nav’ | boolean; default True):
Use True to navigate outside the Dash app or to manually refresh a
page. Use False if the same callback that updates the Location
component is also updating the page content - typically used in
multi-page apps that do not use Pages. Use ‘callback-nav’ if you are
updating the URL in a callback, or a different callback will respond
to the new Location with updated content. This is typical with
multi-page apps that use Pages. This will allow for navigating to a
new page without refreshing the page.
