Context

Some apps need the ability to parse token from url. A usecase would be to implement reset password links.

• node version: 16.0.0
• module version: 3.0.0
• environment (e.g. node, browser, native): node
• used with (e.g. hapi application, another framework, standalone, ...): hapi application
• any other relevant information:

What problem are you trying to solve?

Allow the plugin to read token from url search query param. Something like https://api.test.com?token=sdfsdfsdfsf would be read and parsed

Implementing this opens up the plugin to a wide variety of usecases, like email reset password links, token based file access etc

Do you have a new or modified API suggestion to solve the problem?

Yes, this can be done similar to what we did with cookieName

Any chance that this gets fixed soon? Reading tokens from query parameters is useful in certain scenarios and I was surprised that the library doesn't support it.
