Is this really a limitation?
If an application uses the slave to access databases it will know the URL 
syntax to pass the arguments.


If the users browses databases she can either put the argument in the URL 
as well, or use the HTML form you provide.
Or you could list all known databases like directories.

Cheers,
Kevin
