The feature

Description

Allow users to share a direct URL to a specific photo within a partner-shared library while preserving the ability to navigate to previous and next photos in the partner's timeline.

Current behavior

Immich Partner Sharing uses URLs in the following format:

https://your-server/partners/USER_ID/photos/PHOTO_ID

However, opening this URL directly from another user's session does not reliably open the intended photo with the expected timeline navigation.

Creating a public shared link for a single photo is not a suitable workaround because the recipient cannot navigate to adjacent photos in the original partner-shared library.

Expected behavior

• Allow direct links to specific photos in a partner-shared library.
• Open the selected photo when the recipient clicks the URL.
• Preserve the partner's timeline context, including previous/next photo navigation.
• Respect existing Partner Sharing permissions.
• Work without creating additional shared albums or public links.

Use case

I frequently want to send my partner a link to a particular photo in our shared library.

For example:

https://your-server/users/USER_ID/photos/PHOTO_ID

When my partner opens this URL, they should see the selected photo and be able to continue browsing adjacent photos using the normal navigation controls.

This would make sharing specific moments much easier without interrupting the browsing experience or requiring duplicate albums.

Related documentation

Immich supports asset and album deep links, as described in the [v1.136.0 release notes](#20133).

It would be useful to extend this functionality to partner-shared timelines.
