How can I redirect one URL with a query string to another and carry it over?

No matter how hard I search for help with htaccess redirect/rewrite rules, I never seem to find an exact match for my problem. And with htaccess, you can't exactly wing it on the syntax!

Please help me redirect any traffic to:

/blue-widgets?param=value1

Needs to redirect straight to:

/blue-widgets/compare-widgets?param=value1

It's probably obvious but the redirect should not happen to any traffic to:

/blue-widgets (direct) OR /blue-widgets?param={any other value}

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)param=value1(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(blue-widgets)/?$ /$1/compare-widgets [L,NC,R=302]

Query string is by default carried over to target URL.
