Google-contacts – Direct URL to a particular person in Google Contacts

google-contacts

I would like to (keep) using Google Contacts as my primary hub for contact info.
However, I would benefit greatly from the ability to link with a URL to a particular person directly from various other apps. To aid in various "CRM" activities too.

There is no immediate way to see a URL when opening a person. Does anyone know of another way?
(I would be willing to even make a regular export of contacts via Zapier or something to get the URL, if that is what it takes.)

In the "old" Contacts, if you click a contact, you'll get a string added to the URL like so:

https://www.google.com/contacts/#contact/32a3998f8ee63eb0

That'll bring you directly to the contact record if you put it in a link.

With the Contact Preview turned on, the same link will bring you into Contacts with the modal window for that contact brought up. However, I don't see an easy way to get that ID. Even viewing the source doesn't really offer any clues. That's not surprising, however, as it is still a product preview.
