Hi Tim, there isn't a way to convert those links to shared folder IDs using the API unfortunately. The API wasn't designed to work with those links directly. The intent was that the app would use list_mountable_folders as you mentioned to get the list of folders that can be mounted in a user's account. You can display this list to the user to have select from it if necessary.
I'll pass this along as a feature request for a way to work with these links though.
