Permalink to specific Gmail inbox

Permalink to specific Gmail inbox

Gmail's multiple account support distinguishes between Gmail accounts with just an index, which simply reflects the order in which you signed into Gmail:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/
...
So if you sign into Gmail first with test@example.com and then with notatest@gmail.com, https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ will go to the inbox of test@example.com; but if you sign into notatest@gmail.com before test@example.com, the same link will go to the inbox of notatest@gmail.com.
Aside from always signing into Google accounts in the same order, is there a good way to link to a specific Gmail account?
Thanks,
Dan
