    There is a way to disable the 'Edit' and 'View' link feature. The only link that appears then is the restricted link.

    This would prevent the breaking of permission.

I'd like to know how to get a default internal link to the file, but with the Durable ID (successor to the Document ID Service)? In the old DocLib UI you could click the 3 dots and in the popup window above you would get the link plus ?d=GUID for a durable link, but without all the guest token blabla. 

I haven't found a way to get this URL+?d=GUID link in the new UI. Or are we supposed to use the "get link" feature and use the internal restrictions?
