OK, that solves the SEO issue because the sitemap now recognizes all the individual items and images because they also have their own individual URLs and "slugs".  And what is displayed to users is same as before with no changes.  But unfortunately the above "fix(es)" breaks the "Sources & Additional Information" link as it takes users to the full URL of the "announcement".  The citations are in the Excerpts Add-On section.  It's still easy to edit, with both the "announcement" and "excerpt" (AKA citations and references in my case), but now there needs to be a way to display the citations and references.

Ideally it would be great to have a modal popup dialogue that displays the Citations and References.  This involves extracting the information from the postmeta table and displaying it in a popup.  That's the easy part.  Getting the data in the postmeta table to display properly was a problematic issue.  The main issue stems from the fact there is HTML and ShortCode in postmeta table.  It needs to be displayed as raw output from WordPress, not as text in a paragraph.
