OK - this is screwier than I realized. My description of the problem was wrong. It is not the parent id that was repeating for each link - it was the grand-parent (project/document) id. Then, when I tried with this_parent in the link, I get the innermost card's id, which I already have. So it seems I am either fetching one to high, or one to low in the hierarchy.
