I used to do something similar in NewtWiki to open notes, but I
tested the _uniqueID field directly, like this:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Start snippet =
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
local soup :=3D GetUnionSoup("Notes");
=09
local curs :=3D soup:Query({indexPath: '_uniqueID, beginKey:
noteID, endKey: noteID});
local e :=3D curs:Entry();
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D End snippet =
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
This worked for me fairly well. Looking at the calendar soup in
SoupKitchen, I can't see why this wouldn't work for it, either.
