Thanks for your replies! I like the idea of a resolver service on labs, but I think it cannot solve the issue. e.g. for ChEMBL and IUPHAR (international union of pharmacology), there is no way to guess from the identifier onto the sub-domain this identifier belongs to. For ChEMBL, the pattern is: 'CHEMBL' prefix, followed by several digits, for IUPHAR IDs: digits only. For a resolver service to work in this case, it would either need to hold all ChEMBL IDs or would need to guess all ~5 URLs in order to find the correct one. Both approaches do not seem sustainable at this point.
So a temporary workaround could be to add the correct url as a qualifier, which I think would be doable, as most external ids will not have additional qualifiers anyway.
