Select drop down based on query string

Is there a way to have a form select a specific value in a drop down based on a query string?

I have the following select item in my form:
[select* service_type include_blank “Manual J – Residential Calculations” “Manual N – Light Commercial” “Manual S – Systems Design” “Manual T – Air Distribution Basics” “Manual D – Residential Duct Design”]

And depending on the page that links to the form,I want to have the appropriate item selected. Is this possible? I tried using “/online-service-request/?service_type=Manual J – Residential Calculations” But it did not do anything.
