There was a similar question posted regarding the same topic, but I'm adding to the question and the previous discussion was resolved.
Here is the link to the original question: Auto number column in SharePoint list
I'm now trying to find out if in a Custom List in MOSS SharePoint 2007 there is a column called "ID(link to item)".
I know that when creating an Issues List in SharePoint, there exists an "Issue ID (link to item)" field that is by by default included in the view, however, I cannot find out if a similar field exists for a Custom List.

The answer is No... but you can create one.
Cracking open a website using SharePoint Manager (which rocks) you can see the definition of the "IssueID" column and the one that is used to display the "ID(link to item)" I include the schema xml from my site below
Change the GUIDs and you can add these columns to a custom list, they will display in the manner you require. I would recommend creating a feature for the columns (maybe use STSDev) and releasing via a solution to any thing other than a dev site.
