Go to a view and trigger a $scope function with ui-router

Issue

I realize this ask is for a hack, but here is the motivation:

I am designing a “shortcut” view for my rather complex app. Users want to trigger functions inside different views.
Different users have different opinions on useful shortcuts
For example, one user may want to define a shortcut that “goes to view app.montage and triggers $scope.toggleInfo()“
Another user may want to define a completely different shortcut that invokes a function 3 levels deep inside an existing view’s UI

So bottomline, can I devise something like:
$state.go('state name') && then initiate function inside that state?

I know I can define URL routes, but its a rather complex app and its easier to be able to “trigger” actions if I can.

$stateProvider.state('users', {
    url: '/users',
    controller: 'UsersCtrl',
    params: {
        obj: null
    }
})

function UserCtrl($stateParams,$scope) {
    console.log($stateParams);
    $stateParams.obj && $stateParams.obj.toggleInfo && $scope.toggleInfo();
}

$state.go('users', {obj:{toggleInfo: true});
