Possible to pass title-value onto edit-form via URL-parameter?

Appending /createObject?type_name=Document&id=some_id_value to an folderish object's URL works. However trying the same with other field-names, doesn't: /createObject?type_name=Document&title=some_title_value, will not work, neither with the uppercased field-name Title, instead of title.

Then, I wanted to read the value of the URL with Javascript on the edit-form and insert it into the title-field, but the URL is redirected to /portal_factory/Document/document.2015-08-25.2537358109/edit, so the parameter isn't available anymore, then.

So now, I was about to manipulate the browser's history, to be able to read it of window.referral, but that's very bad practice.

Is it possible at all, to pass a title to the createObject-method or is there any other possible solution known without the need, to have the edit-form be customized, respectively create a dedicated one?

A Dexterity-solution would be welcome, too.

Update:

What I would actually like to know, is the last location of which the link ("Add page") was clicked. That gets lost, due to the redirect.

Relates to:

Provide a default value on a field also on edit form

You could customize portal_skins/plone_scripts/createObject/manage_workspace so that it accepted an optional title parameter, though this works only up to Plone 4.x; the script no longer exists in Plone 5.
