Hey, Josh. The desire is to know what product's ad was shown for a particular query. Unless you've made the product partition tree down to the granularity of individual products, the "KeywordId" in the report (which is really a criterion id) corresponds to a particular node in the partition tree that can have a number of products in it. The destination URL would be able to give us the ability to match up the query with a particular product. Unless I'm missing something, there's no other way to know what product was being shown for a particular query (in a general product partition tree)? If there is, that would work for us as well.
The primary motivation for knowing which product was shown for the query is to help with an automated decision around whether there are searches we are missing in the search campaigns that we should add keywords for -- but if we do this in an automated fashion, we'd need to know what the new keyword's landing page should be, which we can get from knowing which product the query was for (or by having the destination URL actually filled in directly in this report).
