This isn't the most elegant solution as it requires a bit of arcane knowledge, but provide a way to step through connections with a specific tab/panel open in the connection editor. It does not close the default panel, but merely opens the one specified by a &section= URL parameter (closing the default panel would require a major refactoring of the default panel logic). Valid choices for section currently are affinity, filter, and perms. This tab/panel selection should persist across form posting and 'prev/next'.
