This is impossible. A hidden form field is simply a form field that is not
displayed to the user. Form actions must be GET or POST.

Don't URL encode the value of the form field, since the browser will take care
of that. You should probably use POST rather than GET, because serializing an
array might yield a very long string and make the URL too large for the Web
browser and/or Web server to handle.
Hope that helps.
