Hi Giles, Regarding your first question, the *targetid* parameter will behave as you described, although it will contain a hyphen (-) instead of an equals sign (=). That is, it will consist of *kwd-54687945125*. Note that it may contain additional criteria IDs as shown in the example in the Help Center for *Standard parameters* <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375447?hl=en#params>.
On question #2, could you provide some examples so I can better understand the question?
