Open a Power BI app in full screen mode by default

I have published an app having one report with new navigation builder. I would like to open that app in full screen mode by default. I understand there is an option on right hand side View ---> Full Screen to do it manually. Is there a way to open the below app in full screen mode by adding some parameters to the URL ?

I tried using the parameter "?chromeless=true" but it throws an error. I guess it would work for typical reports, not for power BI apps.

I found the soultion for this. Removing ctid from the URL will open the app in full screen. Below is the updated URL.

What does ctid do? If I remove it from the url of a displayed report and refresh the report the commands on the black toolbar disappear. If I call the report without ctid in the link they are there even though the ctid expression is no longer in the url.
