 linking to specific customization areas. In the example I wrote above, I
 am trying to create a button that links to a specific Customizer section
 after it opens that page since they are contextual / related.

 contains a valid previewable URL, and you should see it load in the
 preview along with the supplied autofocus panel/section/control being
 focused.

 Using the {{{wp-login.php}}} page as an URL parameter does open that page
 and customizing fields do apply on-page. I am basically using the
 Customizer to change login page CSS like background, form colors, etc. and
 it works. Why isn't the {{{url}}} considered valid?
