If you don’t have to use URLs like #/item/{{item.id}}/foo and #/item/{{item.id}}/bar but #/item/{{item.id}}/?foo and #/item/{{item.id}}/?bar instead, you can set up your route for /item/{{item.id}}/ to have reloadOnSearch set to false (https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute/provider/$routeProvider). That tells AngularJS to not reload the view if the search part of the url changes.
