Using WebParts syntax to navigate OWA?

When you train in OWA, you can take advantage of sending your students directly to certain interfaces of OWA, for doing specific hands-on tasks. If they are not alreay logged in, they seem to get redirected to the desired view in the end Working example:

https://mail.uncc.edu/owa/?cmd=contents&fpath=Calendar&view=Weekly&archivestub=1

Limitations seem to be in the browsers: IE> Firefox > Safari.

However, I could not find a way to send a user to a specific view of an OWA published calendar (seems to default always to monthly).  Non-working eexamples:

bad request http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html?view=Weekly 404 http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/Weekly/calendar.html#

See documentation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199.aspx

Can you use webbparts to save your users to have to change the view owa-calendar-views when they open up a calendar like http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCRoomCOED434@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html#, or another way to open this calendar not in its (monthly) default view?
