Optional regions and template parameters

This cannot work. You are trying to mix a run-time event (the url
parameter) with a design-time feature (DW's optional regions). They are in
completely separate space-time continua.

I suggest you use some server scripting to take the URL parameter and use it
to set the visibility of a page element displaying your desired content.
