A DNS CNAME is an ALIAS for a domain name. A way to set the ip address depending on another name to get its. it does not do redirects.

the URL record is for a redirect , but will not pass any parameters, just the domain name.

You can do a redirect at the host server... httpd.conf file or .htaccess

for example. apache... SEE https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html

I suggest doing the redirect at the web server host, because you have a lot more control of what to pass, and where it goes to. and could do it in the .htaccess file.
