Just thinking aloud. Everything - units, sources, incidents, persons, locations - in WWIC datasets has a UUID:

https://whowasincommand.com/en/organization/view/fffa0ffc-e7e6-4d82-9173-d91df2edaf5d/

The UUID should be a quick way to get to that content:

https://whowasincommand.com/fffa0ffc-e7e6-4d82-9173-d91df2edaf5d/

With a shortener URL

https://wwic.at/fffa0ffc-e7e6-4d82-9173-d91df2edaf5d

Truncated UUID with shortener URL:

https://wwic.at/fffa0ffc

This would help us provide url references inside text/reports that won't allow hyperlinking.
