Yes, it is same process like you.
I checked the elements in the console. It is not displaying record id for account for my activity stream.
<a href="index.php?module=Accounts&action=DetailView&record="><img src="folder/img/images/Accounts.gif" border="0" alt="View Account"></a> ": "
You can see in the above line record = " and even account name after /a tag is missing.
