Yes, you got it. You just append your ID string to the URLs in the Replacement HTML as you would a regular link.

If that is correct, is there a way to make this retroactive, meaning that it will change amazon links for old posts/threads on my forum?

Not in the case of regular links. With videos, you can rebuild old BBCode that was specially set aside for that purpose. For instance [YOUTUBE] BBCode can be rebuilt to use [AME] BBCode instead. But it's likely you didn't have a specialized BBCode tag set aside for Amazon links. You likely just posted links as normal. And you certainly wouldn't want AME replacing all your [URL] tags.

Any older links you wanted to reflect the new edits to your definition would require them being edited and resaved.
