Blazor replace URL in browser history

Question

Is there a way in Blazor routing to replace the URL link when navigating to another page? Something similar to window.location.replace in JS, or the replace attribute in React's "Link" tag, or React's history.replace? I don't want to have a history item with every navigation in the application..

Update: I tried the following in the index page, but no avail:

@inject IJSRuntime js
@inject NavigationManager NavigationManager
protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        NavigationManager.LocationChanged += LocationChanged;
        base.OnInitialized();
    }
    private void LocationChanged(object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        js.InvokeVoidAsync("replace", e.Location);
    }

And the js function is:

function replace(url) {
    window.location.replace(url);
}

This feature is actually provided in the JS interop, but somehow not in the NavigationManager as of the writing of this answer. So what you need to do is to directly invoke the JS function:

js.InvokeVoidAsync("Blazor._internal.navigationManager.navigateTo", yourReletiveUrl, false, true);

Here the third parameter specifies that it should replace the history instead of pushing it.
