I also need this functionality. Is there anyone who could post a patch for this while we are waiting for this request to be assigned?

I have created views integration for the Type local nids module for Drupal 6 with the current Views 2. I'm not sure of the differences between Drupal 6 and Drupal 5 so don't know how hard it is to convert back to D5.
Full details for the D6 integration are given in

Hope this helps

Just a thought: I believe this could be easily done by first creating a CCK field to hold the lnid (see #313476: Problem with CCK computed field) and then just referencing to it in Views.

That's how I would do it in the short term.

One problem with using a computed field is that it doesn't get created until a node is created or edited. So it's hard to retrofit it to an existing content type. (Adding this here because the advice to use a computed field is here.)
