Using Header Referer risk to hold needed values for endpoint

I want to use the header referer to communicate between Authenticated URLs in my app. Normally the end point URLs comes like this:

appsite.com/editor/UUID-39929922

My plan is to present this view without the UUID-39929922 param. So the url end point should be as below, if I use the referer header to carry the UUID:

appsite.com/editor

My question is, Is there any downside to doing this?
