I've added a few lines of code to the OpenLayersAPI recipe. Now I can
simply include an OpenStreetMap with a directive like the following:

(:ola-map
link=http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.7300&mlon=-74.0054#map=16/40.7300/-74.0054:)

Manually extracting lat/long/zoom and marker information from the URL
isn't necessary anymore with this new feature. Of course, all existing
options can still be added for customization. I think this might
facilitate the usage of this recipe a little.

I consider making this available to others as well. How should I go
about this (as it's somebody else's recipe I've been tinkering with)?
