Is it possible to directly modify the URL's path and search without any sideeffects in terms of reloading, refreshing, reinitialising, or affecting AngularJS in anyway. Basically a pure cosmetic effect.

I need this sometimes when I need to correct the URL without doing anything else.

This could be useful for overlays that need a directly accessible URL. Or when someone enters the wrong title for a particular ID. See Stackoverflow, when you change the title but enter just the ID, it will correct the title portion of the URL to be correct.

I know history.pushState can do this, but when I try this inside AngularJS it results in 10 digest errors.
