Thanks Federico...I will use that approach.

Out of interest, do you know why there isn't a full URL exposed for each list item? It must exist somewhere in the metadata, because when you share an item you can 'copy link'.

  Hi ghdunn ,
  sharing Links have a different meaning.
  Sharing Links also carry sharing permissions information for one or more users, so it is possible through a link (the same that is taken from the interface) to give access from the point of view of security to specific users.
  Url with the ID assumes that the user has already access, so there is not sharing (permissions) needs.
