(Perma)links to lecture notes and assignments
Assignment descriptions can include links to lecture notes or other lecture notes. Cloning course editions change all IDs, requiring manual updating of old references.

- Making url keys unique based on a property that is consistent between editions. Title is a prime candidate but not ideal since changing titles would then change urls and titles may currently not be unique inside an edition.
- Allowing creation of permalinks per editions that link to assignments/lecture notes, and are copied when cloning editions but pointing to the new ids.
- Rewriting assignment descriptions and course notes as part of the clone action to point to the new ids. This requires a complete map of old ids -> new ids.
