Grid edit URL breakdown

Can anybody break down the components of the URL for a report when you enter grid edit mode? Specifically, the portions having to do with QID and ridList?

I have two reports (standard reports in grid edit mode), that I'm displaying as iframes linked to an html code page, on a home page. It has to be this way, because there is no way that I can tell to filter parent record selection on a report built in grid edit mode. My solution works great for one day, and then something happens where the numbers associated with qid and ridlist in the URL change and I have to fix the HTML code pages. 

https://...quickbase.com/db/bniuwc3g7?a=q&qid=-1000005&ridList=2908&dlta=su94~su83~mog~&qskip=0&qtbtx=__none&navBack=true&originalQid=29

Does anybody know how to dynamically change those elements of the URL so I don't have to fix it every day? 

Many thanks!!

    The rid list is a code for the list of records at a moment in time and is only temporarily stored.  QIDs which are those large negative numbers are also temporary links.   I think you will need to try to describe why you cannot make a Grid Edit Report as a report type and use that link.
