Example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-consent/?destination=%2fnews%2fworldviews%2fwp%2f2018%2f06%2f23%2fa-jogger-accidentally-crossed-into-the-u-s-from-canada-and-was-detained-for-two-weeks%2f%3futm_term%3d.c4ef315d4035%26amp%3btid%3dsm_tw%26amp%3bnoredirect%3don&utm_term=.c4ef315d4035&tid=sm_tw&noredirect=on

Maybe i could search for ?destination=…, decode the percent-encoding and use that as new URL. Or i could search for parameters that look like URLs. Problem is, that could lead to false-positives.
