I am in similar situation with Andy. but I am looking a quick way to link
to other asset systems that doesn't use "asset name" but "asset id" for
searching.

I am hoping the asset URL link can be in "info" column as a clickable
tag/link.
The unique hostname isn't directly accessible for links on the 'info' page, but it can be had in a round-about way. I embed HTML in the DESCR field to provide this external linkage on the 'info' page of Xymon. Like this:
DESCR:"Router:<a href=/xymon/extnotes/legacynotes.php target=_blank >Legacy Notes</a>"
My legacynotes.php looks in $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] to find the parameter 'HOST=foo.bar.com' which it then uses to craft an appropriate 302 message sending the customer to an external application. If the external ID for your application were in the hosts.cfg in an arbitrary (ignored) tag, the php could pull it out and use it to craft an appropriate 302.
