No. Here's one of the previously threads on this same question: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1604053414451400

@Ian Lake is sending parcelable a good idea though 🤔 . I understand this will be similar to how things are being done in the fragment world, but the problem is solved if an id is passed to the navigate() ?

Passing a Parcelable has never been the right choice: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1603915310355400?thread_ts=1603915006.355200&cid=CJLTWPH7S

exactly. never did it anyways. Always preferred to pass the least amount of data 👍 .

[Vitor Prado]

I changed the code to send just the object id

[KD]

One can always take the passed id field and refer to local cache

How bad is it to something like this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/65619560/9440211. At least for some sample project that has no local cache or something of that sorts, it should work as a hacky solution. But other than that, what are the reasons I would NOT want to do this for a simple screen that just renders one data object (for example a detail screen of something)?
