Changing the default work item type

Is it possible to change the default work item type from defect to story when I create a new work item?

Ideally, I'd even like to extract a URL to a work item template still in edit mode, not have it saved automatically, so I can create a link in an html page that users can use to connect directly to the work item template in edit mode.

A link similar to what I can capture from the create work item button currently, but for different work item types:

https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem

Hi,

on the plan you can rightclick and get a context menu to select the work item types. The very last entry allows to set the default.

With the help of Ralph, it turns out my syntax was wrong. I was trying to use:
#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem&type=story

instead of the correct:
#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem&type=com.ibm.team.apt.workItemType.story

I now have the URL I need.
