Persisting select box selections across routes without saving records to the database

Hi, I’m trying to persist some data in the URL because I don’t want to save to the database. Please can i get some feedback on my method?

<!-- On /language -->

<select>
	<option value="slug1">text1</option>
	<option value="slug2">text2</option>
	<option value="slug3">text3</option>
	<option value="slug4">text4</option>
</select>

<!-- on submit transitions to -->

/language/<slug1>

<!-- hitting the above redirects to -->

/language/<slug1>/signups/new
<!--
slug is only persisted in the URL to
enable me to do a lookup on the language
model to return text for the signup form.
The language is not persisted to the DB
-->

The problem i’m having is I want to persist the slug selection across routes without saving any data to the database and have taken a nested routes approach to this so I can collect the slug from the URL to do the query and use the data returned in the signups template. I don’t want to nest the templates, however.

I’m a bit confused as to wether this isn’t the ember way and if not, would would one persist a selection so that it's value can be used later down the line?

Thanks in advance for any help!
