How to create a modal with a shareable link without using the parallel and intercepting route?

I’ve implemented the intercepting route in my application, and it’s working fine. However, I want to display only the modal and not the page on reload. The content I’m seeing online all explains how to implement this using just the intercepting and the parallel route.

Is there a way to create a modal with a shareable link without using the parallel and intercepting route? I want to be able to share a link that opens the modal directly, without displaying the entire page.

My current setup uses the intercepting route, which works well, but I want to find a solution that avoids the need for the parallel route.

I’ve implemented the intercepting route, but I want to show the modal on reload instead of the full page. The existing solutions use parallel and intercepting routes, which I want to avoid. How can I create a shareable modal link without the parallel and intercepting routes?
