Usage notes
The recordId for Imagine associated records is an 8-byte binary string value. This can be used to create another Record object with the NewFromRecordId function though there is really no good reason to create another Record object this way, or it could be passed to the Imagine broker, probably after converting it to hex. Note, however, that while recordIds uniquely identify any record in Imagine, Imagine still needs to know the Imagine file that holds the record to locate it. This can be obtained using the ImagineFile method.
