Hyperlink to a list item

Question

Here's the scenario.  I have two lists that pertain this question.  Work Orders and Internal notes.  
Work Orders is shared with some people in the office to make service requests for building maintenance.  Call these people the customer.
Internal Notes is for us to make notes that we don't want the customer to see.
When a new Work Order is created, a workflow runs to create a new Internal Note.  It copies the address of the property and it copies the 'ID' value and plugs that into the 'WorkOrder' field on the internal note.
Now in the work order, I want to create a hyperlink to the Internal Note that is associated with that WorkOrder number.
I've tried something like concat('https://<sharepoint_domain>/site/list/dispifs.aspx?WorkOrder=', me:WorkOrder) in the hyperlink on the Work Order form, but I never see the value show up in the URL, and also I'm not sure I can even search by the WorkOrder
field in the Internal Note.  
I am aware that you can use ...?ID=xxx, that won't work unless someone can tell me how to create a list item and assign the ID value from the Work Order list to the ID value in the Internal Note list.
Hope this all makes sense.  Please help!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create a hyperlink to the Internal Note that is associated with that WorkOrder number.
Please follow the steps to achive what you want:
Create a custom list named Work Orders, add column: Hyperlink(Hyperlink or Picture).
Create a custom list named Internal notes, add column: WorkOrder(Single line of text).
Create workflow assocaited to Work Orders, start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add actions:
Then when you add item to Work Orders, the workflow will be started automaully, and the workflow will create an item in Internal notes and then the Hyperlink will be set the correct value.
