How to Create Deep Links to D365 F&O Records with Dataverse Virtual Tables

It is a common requirement for SaaS platform that exposes form over data to be able to share a secure link (a.k.a. Deep Link) to access a given record. That way, links can be shared publicly— via email or Teams message for example—but clicking them still requires the user to authenticate and have the right permissions to access the record.

For instance, Power Platform model-driven apps have this functionality built in. You can simply copy and share the URL exposed in the browser while looking at a specific record. If the recipient has the right credentials, they can click the link and go straight to the record. This predictable URL format also makes it super handy to build automations.
