Maybe this would work using row.idea.id like this...

grid = SQLFORM.grid(query,
    links = [dict(header='Virtual Field',
    body=lambda row: A('Add a comment!', _href=URL('comment_on_a_suggestion'
, vars=dict(filter=row.idea.id <http://row.id/>)))
    )]
    )


You can also now include "virtual fields" in grids,  but I haven't needed 
to try that yet.
