There do not appear to be any client library interfaces that, given a URL (e.g., to a youtube video, picasa album, picasa photo, picasa slideshow, etc.), return some kind of canonicalized structure that contains everything required to use some GData API to get that same referenced content in a structured way.
The URLs so far are easily "scrape-able" to get what is needed (for example, http://picasaweb.google.com/userid/albumname/photo#s<photoid>, but it would be nice to have an "authoritative" way to get this information. Strictly speaking this is not really a GData API thing, but a client library thing. Can these kind of "factory" interfaces be considered for some future GData client library release? The developers at Youtube, Picasa, etc. are the ones most familiar with the various flavors of URLs that could be floating around and best suited to provide this kind of mechanism.
