[Zope] SQL Queries

thanks again.
in CF i used to be able to link each title to a dynamically generated page using the ID, like this:
a href="newpage.cfm?#ID#
so that each title would go to its specific page thanks to the ID.
How do you do this in Zope?
Cheers

><h2 align="center"><dtml-var document_title></h2>

><p><font size="+1">Enter query parameters:</font></p>
><table>

>    <td><SELECT NAME="entity_name" SIZE=1>
><dtml-in getTableNames>
>  <OPTION><dtml-var table_def_nm null=""></OPTION>
></dtml-in>
></SELECT>
>    </td></tr>
><tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
><input type="SUBMIT" name="SUBMIT" value="Submit Query">
></td></tr>
></table>
></form>

><dtml-var standard_html_footer>
