This is what I do in practice, custom comments also have the advantage that they can be 'shown' and edited from the spreadsheet/book list - I show them as an icon with no text (looks better). You can show custom comments columns in Book Details like any other column.

Thanks for the suggestion, to have at least the information someplace I've opted to go with the custom comment column, although because of the portable nature of my setup, file associations don't work so opening the book in Calibre's viewer is not working.
The reason I was hoping for an id method to exist is because then Calibre would have known how to handle the protocol and opened the viewer directly. Sadly since I can have only one clickable uri in the IDs field, I can't use that to create a clickable reference because I have the uri part exclusively reserved/in use to have a clickable entry for the source of the ebook
