Can we have a link that takes us directly to wiserep to see the available spectra for a given object?

I have previously thought about this. It is not a simple tasks unfortunately. Each object in WiseRep has a unique ID unrelated to the transient name. For example here is 'SN 2013fs'

https://www.wiserep.org/object/2317

as you see the unique wiserep id is '2317'.

Although there is no API call for Wiserep to grab these IDs yet, there may be another way to scrape the ID.

Investigations ongoing.
