It is conceivably possible if that SP were using a relayState that was sending the full URL to the IdP (since that would be subject to potential manipulation by the IdP if we had a bug) but they're not (your pasted link left the underlying URL intact, so I was able to click it), it's using in-memory relay state so the URL never leaves the SP. So, no, there's absolutely no way that's possible.

Can't be. Not that alone anyway.
