Use this function to capture the location of a user within the /inboxes routes. For example, to note which inbox a user is viewing or the current message the user has open. If your plugin navigates the user away from this location, you can pass the response of this location to openUrl to return the user to the location of interest.

If the user is in the
noConversationPopovercontext, this function returns a value ofcomposing-newbecause there is no route associated to the user when they are viewing a popped-out composer window for a brand new message they are creating. You cannot use thecomposing-newvalue to resolve the user's path or in other functions like openUrl.
