Routing Issue with Modal

I have a landing Page, lets call it landing.php (/landing/user/)
Works great.
I have a link to a route: /landing/user/about (which loads _about.php).
On this page is a modal that autoloads and pops up - works great.
On the modal close, the page navigates via routes back to /landing/user
Works no problem.
Problem is when i click the link to navigate via routes back to /landing/user/about the modal no longer pops up…

I’ve tried targeting the modal using the app structure from a link on the main page, which does not work.

Any thoughts on how to retrigger the modal on that route?

I’ve tried just about every combination of dynamic event ect… i just cant get the modal to open up once i go back to the route for a second time.

Is it possible to target components on routing pages from the base page, all my research and tinkering says no…

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
