Open an accordian item in a new page specific to value in URL

Questions

The following checks if there is a customer testimonial assigned to a product and, if so, creates a link from the product page to the testimonial (with a unique id 'testimLink')

    <xsl:variable name="testimLink" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'testimLink']" />

    <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@nodeTypeAlias = 'testimLink'">
        <a href="/testimonials.aspx?t=t{$testimLink}">Customer Testimonial</a>
    </xsl:if>

The testimonials are all on a separate page in an accordian menu (click on an item and it expands) so what I need to be able to do is expand the testimonial with the 'testimLink' passed in the URL.

I thought I could do this using jQuery but I'm not sure how to pass the function to a new page?

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.
