MusicBrainz Artist Match GUID Query

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong section for this and maybe more suited for dev, but just a quick one.

I noticed when a musicbrainz artist is matched, the GUID changes to reflect this (from local://(metadata_item_id) to plex://artist/(uid string)). I assume this is to do with having a musicbrainz match it changes?

So when I click “Refresh Metadata” on an artist, I assume it pulls down the stored musicbrainz mbid to do this and doesn’t just refresh as a new item. If so, does anyone know where this id is stored (either on the DB to be read or as a hidden id3 tag?) I have a couple of read-only select statements to do general health checks on my music library -> Plex relationship, so knowing the musicbrainz mbid it’s stored for any artist would be particuarly handy!
