My theory is that in order to take advantage of the %%rid%% functionality, you need to be in an add record, then be pushing a button and you can grab the record ID of the source (launch) record.
But i dont think you can create a new record, and get the new record ID of the record you just created, you gotta press a rich text button inside that add (new) record.
I have this in my notes, which I believe was from the release notes:
"Use record ID# as a parameter when you click a custom hyperlink from an add record form. "
So this would confirm that the basic concept wont work.
