Hi Paul, Thanks for asking.
I do not want to send people to the node on OpenStreetMap via a url ... I agree this would not be friendly to the user experience. There are two places where it would be helpful to have a permanent id associated with the osm object. 1) When a contributeur takes a picture of a fountain via the web app image capture feature : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XbYC1xwsjCySv1g9LPHx3zX07SNtCeuI It would be nice to give a "permanent" link to the image to the user so that they can save the image and share it with friends. I currently save the image with a name closely related to the osm node id. 2) I would like to create a permanent link which when clicked takes the user to a map centered at the osm object and then overlays a small popup with the object features (including the image). The simpler the solution the better.
