That looks too rich for a link to me unless alot of it is always the same, or derived, e.g. the id tags.
Something like this is what a link would look like: video:quadratic.webm and the html export could certainly generate what you put in the html block below. See http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/11/04/New-link-features-in-org-9/ for how to make a link, try it and report back if it is useful.
