How are github links created/referenced in function app

Question

I am finding it difficult to understand how are these links generated.

https://aka.ms/sentinel-ApigeeXDataConnector-azuredeploy
https://aka.ms/sentinel-ApigeeXDataConnector-functionapp

I am building a similar function app json for my solution, and I understand that the id is being used here. But how to test what does this link point to, how to construct it? Is there a doc with these details?

Here are the pages I am looking into

1. https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/tree/master/DataConnectors
2. https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/blob/master/DataConnectors/Templates/Connector_REST_API_AzureFunctionApp_template/DataConnector_API_AzureFunctionApp_template.json
3. https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/tree/master/Solutions#guide-to-building-microsoft-sentinel-solutions

for ex, https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/blob/master/Solutions/Google%20Apigee/Data%20Connectors/ApigeeX_FunctionApp.json

Also, lets suppose I have a branch where I am developing a solution, how do I validate this link?

https://aka.ms/sentinel-

@Ashwin Venkatesha Thank you reaching out to us, aka.ms links are generated using our internal tool, this is not available to general public.

Any specific reason you want to shorten the url?
