Get last month url in TYPO3 news extension

Question

I'm using TYPO3 v10.4.12 and 'news' extension v8.5.2 I add "News" page where I have two columns. In first I have "news list" with pagination and e.g. 10 news per page and in sidebar I have "date menu". All is working fine but I need one thing.

When I click on "News" in main menu I see those 10 news but I want to see only news from last month. Same effect I can get when I click on last month in date menu. So is there any trick to get last month url in typoscript (or any other way) and redirect main menu page to it?

I am not aware of a native way in EXT:news to limit to the last month.

Since the link to the desired view URL is also dynamic and might contain parameters (maybe rewritten to nice URLs) like ?tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][month]=12&tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][year]=2020&cHash=... I am going to propose a little hacky JavaScript solution...

// follow first news date menu link if accessed without parameters
if (location.pathname === '/news' && location.search === '') {
  var linkEl = document.querySelector('.news-menu-view a')
  if (null !== linkEl) location.href = linkEl.href
}

This would navigate to the first link in the date menu.
