Locating GI screen Ids from screen name in BQL

How do I find a GI’s screen ID from the name of the GI.

I’m using OData to get information from GIs into my external application, but I’d like to provide a link back into Acumatica to the GI in question.  Unfortunately, the OData meta-data doesn’t include the screen ID.  I’m trying to find the cross-reference of GI screen names to the IDs but have not had luck. I had assumed that GIDesign + GINavigationScreen would have worked, but some GIs that are Exposed Via OData don’t have rows in GINavigationScreen.

While we never got SitemapScreenID to work, we did end up using the SiteMap, provided that the OData GI was published and on the site map...

SitemapScreenID should work, but while I get a match on the name of the GI, 
SitemapScreenID doesn’t appear to have the screen ID when I query the BQL.
