If you have a URN-scheme that allows this: yes. One such scheme is a  
CRID (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crid, for example), which is  
used mainly in the content on TV. I think BBC publish CRIDs for all of  
their programs. Or you could use an EAN product code, or an ISBN  
number, or any other unique identifier format for which a URN-scheme  
exists.
