Sounds like an offtopic but consider the following case:

- A page has a list of article titles, each title leading to an article
page.
- Naturally, you want these links to be bookmarkable, so they look like
"/wa/InspectArticle?__key=100".

Fetching by primary key looks like a perfect solution in these case. It is
also used in Wonder's ERD2WDirectAction.

What would be an alternative better way of fetching objects in these case
without using primary keys?
