Push page on top most NavigationPage

Question

I have an XF app where I have the following navigation stacks:

• NavigationPage
  • TabbedPage
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 1. tab)
      • ContentPage1
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 2. tab)
      • ContentPage2 (currently active page)
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 3. tab)
      • ContentPage3

What I want to accomplish is to navigate, with a URL, from the currently active page to a page that gets pushed onto the root NavigationPage's stack resulting in something like this:

• NavigationPage
  • TabbedPage
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 1. tab)
      • ContentPage1
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 2. tab)
      • ContentPage2
    • NavigationPage (this is the root of the 3. tab)
      • ContentPage3
  • ContentPage3 (new active page)

If I try to do this by navigating to /NavigationPage/ContentPage3 the TabbedPage and all subpages are destroyed. If I instead use /NavigationPage/TabbedPage/ContentPage3 the TabbedPage and subpages are still destroyed, but then recreated to make the URL match.

I'd like to accomplish this without destroying the existing pages.

The only way I know to not to destroy existing pages is to use an Modal Page. You can modify the Appearance of the ModalPage so that appears like a normal page. Also, while navigating you can set the animation to false so that the Page appears directly without animation.
