Low variables & Matrix - Make a row act like an entry

Question

Is it possible to have a "main page" that pulls through a Low Variable tag pair with all the matrix rows, and then a view page to view each page with more details about that "one matrix row"?

{exp:low_variables:pair var="franchises_for_sale"}
    {field}
    <a href="/businesses/franchises-for-sale/{some_uri_tag_like_page_uri}">View this matrix row</a>
{/exp:low_variables:pair}

Answer 1

You could use row_id to get to the right row.

{exp:low_variables:pair var="franchises_for_sale"}
    {field}
    <a href="/businesses/franchises-for-sale/{row_id}">View this matrix row</a>
{/exp:low_variables:pair}

And on the businesses/franchises-for-sale page:

{exp:low_variables:pair var="franchises_for_sale" row_id="{segment_3}"}
    {field}
{/exp:low_variables:pair}

If you want something more readable, try creating a column for a url_title (which you'd have to fill out yourself) and use search:my_column="{segment_3}" instead.

Answer 2

Low had the best answer (use row_id to get the right row), but I wanted to answer Third_Hyperion's question in the comments (I'm trying to get involved with answering more, and I'm new)

For "No Results" I would consider using an If Statement prior to the matrix, comparing the row_id being provided with the number of rows in the Low Variables matrix field.

{if {franchises_for_sale:total_rows} < {segment_3}}
  {redirect="404"}
{/if}
