The details (which are not completed) are relevant to the SqlCollection
only but this is easily solved -- urlIds are referenced, but the point
is really to reference unique identifiers, from whatever collection. We
can make it more abstract so that it handles those cases (for instance
by storing the actual IDs instead of the integer value of the ID in
another table, even though this will make it a bit larger/slower).
