In case it helps anyone else, I finally figured out how to seed URL relationships for standalone recordings!

The relevant GET query parameters are e.g. `edit-recording.url.0.text` and `edit-recording.url.0.link_type_id`.

I found the names in a regular expression in [root/static/scripts/edit/externalLinks.js](https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/blob/master/root/static/scripts/edit/externalLinks.js):

```auto
      // Terribly get seeded URLs
      if (MB.formWasPosted) {
        // [omitted]
      } else {
        const seededLinkRegex = new RegExp(
          '(?:\\?|&)edit-' + sourceType +
            '\\.url\\.([0-9]+)\\.(text|link_type_id)=([^&]+)',
          'g',
        );

```
