AFAIK its not possible to secure the HTML Source[^] , one thing you shall try is, create a mapping table for the reference number with respect to ID or some other value. and use the ID value as attribute to the list item which is not vulnerable to reveal your confidential data. and by means of query string mechanism you shall get the reference number from mapping table by the ID which is being passed. or you shall encrypt the value before assigning it to the attributes and retrieve the same and decrypt it.
