Creating a URL button to instantly grid edit the children of a specific parent.

I know that I can have a button that shows me all the children associated with the parent (report link) but I am trying to figure out how to make it so that I am already in a grid edit by the time I arrive on that page.

The URLs for grid editing the same list of items that I choose to view have quite a few differences and I'm not sure where it's pulling those differences from or how to automate the link to be a grid edit link.

Report Link:
domain.quickbase.com/db/bqkfg9238?a=s&query=%7B%2716%27.TV.%276%27%7D&opts=disprec

Grid Edit Link:
domain.quickbase.com/db/bqkfg9238?a=q&qid=8&dlta=mx%7B%2716%27.TV.%276%27%7D%7Emog%7E&ridlist=14240&qskip=0&qtbtx=__none&_fid_20=6&navBack=true

Any thoughts?

Let's first rule of the obvious normal way.  If the parent has an embedded table of the children  and you edit the form properties for the report link field you can put the children into grid edit mode automatically when you edit the parent record.
