Somebody correct me, but I remember a url (or any long piece of text) can contain a small image. I think it was hexadecimal code. I was looking for the words “base16=” or “base32=”.
In this case the latter part of the link is URL-encoded XML and probably unnecessary, I’d guess that only the first two parameters of the URL are really mandatory, but who knows. There are many ancient and ugly as hell web apps out there.

You are correct those are called “data urls”, they’re intended to embed files in text.
This is not a data url tho, it’s an ugly link
What you mean is base64, and yeah.
