Hi folks,
I'd like to know if the link for a knowledge article is stored in a field that I can export or if it is generated solely on the fly.
I have report of knowledge articles (outside of ServiceNow) that I would like to not only include the article number and short description but the URL for the article.
Thanks,
Adam

From my understanding, it's generated on the fly and based on an article's KB Number. In your report, perhaps you could create a formula to add the KB Number to your instance's permalink format such as in the example below.
- KB Number = kb1234567
- Classic: https://instance.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=kb1234567
- Portal: https://instance.servicenow.com/knowledgenow?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=kb1234567
- Please note these links won't function, the prefix of "instance.servicenow" is only an example.

Not necessarily related to your question but posted for visibility.
Some (Utah?) functionality that we are looking into and hoping it does what we think:
Human-readable URLs for the knowledge page
We are hoping we can use this to render the KBID and Title auto generated.
