Thanks to this site by Mkyong, the only solution that actually worked for us to pass a parameter was this

with

public String editAction() {

  Map params = 
            FacesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
  String idString = params.get("myId");
  long id = Long.parseLong(idString);
  ...
}

Technically, that you cannot pass to the method itself directly, but to the JSF request parameter map.
