Is there a standard way of linking to a tweet using solely the ID?

I have a database of Tweet IDs, acquired from search/tweets, that I need to eventually convert to oEmbed format. In order to do this, the first step is to get a Tweet's URL. How can I link to a tweet using only the ID?

You can just use the statuses/oembed call. As the documentation states, you don't need the full url, you can also use just the tweet ID.

Example: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/oembed.json?id=507185938620219395
