I'll give you an example of something I use and perhaps this will provide a solution. This is from a classifieds system which has 7 databases. When I view a User from the user databasewant I use the following to display all the ads within the other 6 databases. This is just an example of one.

print qq|
<table width=450><TR><TD><$font><B>Current Classifieds:</B></font></TD></TR>|;

&switch_to_announce;
undef %in;
$in{'UserID'} = $rec{'UserID'};
$in{'mh'} = 50;

my ($status2,@hits2) = &query("view");
if ($status2 eq "ok") {
my ($numhits2) = ($#hits2+1) / ($#db_cols+1);

for (0 .. $numhits2 - 1) {
%rec2 = &array_to_hash($_, @hits2);
print qq| <TR><TD><$font><A HREF="$db_script_url?db=announce&uid=$db_uid&ItemID=$rec2{'ItemID'}&view_records=1">$rec2{'ItemID'}</A> - $rec2{'Category'} - $rec2{'Title'}</font>&nbsp;</td></tr> |;
}
}

print qq|</table></CENTER><P>|;

Something like this would provide the display you are looking for without having to store the ID numbers and then make links. The above provides links automatically.

Hope this helps
