You can put |n at the end of a Mason expression to prevent it being
escaped, for example:

  <a href="<%$url|n%>"><%$name%></a>

For details see perldoc HTML::Mason::Devel and search for "Escaping
expressions".

But if your IDs are just letters and digits surely it isn't being
escaped anyway:

  <a href="http://ext.intranet:8999/<%$idnum%>">other web app</a>
