The following is a survey of Google login urls (because I couldn't find it documented). I'm trying to find the best way to point people to a particular service with a particular account, minimizing possible multiaccount confusion.
accounts.gooogle.com
| url | Accounts logged in | notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| none | one | both | ||
| https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin | standard blank login | Password prompt (with option to "Sign in with a different account") | Password prompt, but for which account (the first added?)? | From any Google service, is the url forwarded to or provided by the "Sign in" button. |
| https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | "Choose an account" dialog, with account listed and "Add account" option | "Choose an account" dialog, with accounts listed and "Add account" option | Target of standard login page "Sign in with a different account" option |
| https://accounts.google.com/AddSession | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | standard blank login | standard blank login | Target of "Add account" option on standard "AccountChooser" page |
To go to a particular Google service after loggin in, just add the "continue" parameter with a url encoded target url.
I think the answer is:
https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?continue=targetURL

Can we gain usability be using Google App urls? Google App urls are often Google service urls with "/a/domain" after the domain (e.g. https://drive.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org). What's a survey of those look like?
