Trying to make those into a link to series is not a great idea.

I clarified the URL based ID to avoid confusion, which seems to have worked since you knew what I was referring to. FYI: they are officially shown as ID in both the
edit metadata screen, and the
tag browser. Since it's literally shown that way throughout the program itself, I would assume it's not difficult to surmise what I'm talking about, especially when I further mention links to various websites.
As for making ID link to a series, I think it's a perfectly good and valid use of the field. Nowhere does it say it should be a unique link per book. Multiple books could have the same link entered without problem. Why not have them link to a single page that lists the entire series? No reason at all. That's the entire reason the ID field is customizable and can have other URL's entered for sites that aren't in the default list.
