Heres how I did mine.

I stored the Guid in a text field and then created a business rule to populate the 'record' as a URL by reading the other fields.

The code will be slightly different if your using Early Binding or Late Binding. But the basic premise is the same.

string hyperlink = "<a href='" + CRM FIELD + "'></a>" ;

If you store the value in CRM like @ Thomas recommended. Personally I would go with this approach so if the URL needs to be changed you don't need to change code in the plugin. But if you want to do it within the plugin then do the concatenation in code:

string hyperlink = string.format("{0}{1}{2}{3}{4}{5}", "<a href='https://crmurl.com", CRM Record Name, "&pagetype=entityrecord&id=%7B", CRM Record GUID,"%7D", "'></a>");

Use the following method:

public static string BuildEntityUrl(IOrganizationService crmService, string orgName, string entityName, Guid entityId, string domainName = null) { // retrieve code RetrieveEntityRequest request = new RetrieveEntityRequest(); request.LogicalName = entityName; RetrieveEntityResponse response = (RetrieveEntityResponse)crmService.Execute(request); int entityCode = response.EntityMetadata.ObjectTypeCode.Value; // template urls NB: use your cloud zone (es. crm4 for west europe) string onpremiseurl = $"https://{domainName}/{orgName}/main.aspx?etc={entityCode}&id=%7b{entityId}%7d&pagetype=entityrecord"; string cloudurl = $"https://{orgName}.crm4.dynamics.com/main.aspx?etc={entityCode}&id=%7b{entityId}%7d&pagetype=entityrecord"; // On Premise url if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(domainName)) return onpremiseurl; // Cloud url return cloudurl; }

Hope it helps!
