While hiding the URL will provide a solution - there is still the issues
of Favorites. If a playing URL is saved as favorites - it will be
clearly visible. 
The PH approach avoid this by having a custom URL.  

However, at the centre of this issues, is there a general issue - are
there some URLs that should not be exposed ?  The counterargument is
that given LMS is open -  it is not hard to discover the "hidden" URLs.


I believe a facility should be there for plugin to hide URLs - it is not
100% secure but enough to stop casual abuse.

Because of the starting point, it can't be neat - first make a solution
that works and then maybe make solution not so kludgy.
