[FX.php List] Obscuring the recid on URL links

I feel that I should know this by now, but still have a question on
how to create links that do not reveal recid's in URL links.
I understand how to use hidden input fields to hide recids on forms.
No problem there.
However, on links that use URLs (list.php?recid=12345), what methods
are used to not review the recid?
I did try a method where I use 20 character randomly generated ID
instead of the recid, and it works fine. The 20 character ID still
appears in the URTL, but with 20 characters, it represent a security
risk...I think.
Am I missing some basic concept or technique in this area?
Thanks
Jonathan
