Rights Manager Matches tab incorrectly links non-catalog development assets (models, images, meshes) to catalog URLs

In the Rights Manager’s Matches section, there is a consistent issue with how development items such as models, images, and meshes are being handled. These assets are not catalog items, yet the system incorrectly generates catalog-style URLs for them (i.e., https://www.roblox.com/catalog/ASSET_ID).

This causes confusion, since these items are not actually published in the Avatar Shop or accessible through the catalog. Instead, they should follow the appropriate development asset URL format:
:point_right: https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/ASSET_ID

This issue appears across all three development item types:

  • Models
  • Images
  • Meshes

This leads to confusion and misdirection during the content review process. Since these assets are not part of the catalog, the links often result in:

  • an error page, or
  • a completely unrelated catalog item.

I tested this across multiple browsers, and the bug is consistent regardless of platform.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to https://create.roblox.com

  2. Navigate to Dashboard → Rights Manager

  3. Click on the Matches tab

    Note: You need to be part of the Claims Beta group to access this feature.

  4. Select the Development Items tab (next to Avatar Items)

  5. Locate any match for a model, image, or mesh

  6. Click on the asset or examine the link generated by the system

  7. Notice that the URL incorrectly follows the catalog format:
    https://www.roblox.com/catalog/ASSET_ID_HERE

  8. Try opening this URL — it will either not load correctly or point to the wrong item

  9. Now try using the correct format:
    https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/ASSET_ID_HERE
    You’ll see the asset opens properly in the Creator Hub


Expected Behavior:

Development assets (models, images, and meshes) should be recognized based on their actual type and availability. The system should not treat them as catalog items or assign catalog-style URLs.

Instead, Rights Manager should generate links using the correct format for development assets on the Creator Hub. Failing to do so makes it hard to trace matched content, especially when catalog links lead to errors or unrelated items.
