Pass parameter for new count?

Can I pass a parameter to a like button to have it keep a separate count for an element?

For instance, I use a CPTs that sometimes gets reused in posts. I would like a separate count for each CPT that appears on a new post.

For instance, on the website above, in each issue, each clickable ad (the CPT) has its own Like button. The one with the most likes gets a special designation (red sparkles). The ads that appear in more than one post tend to get the most Likes, and I would like that to be treated separately in each issue.

Is that clear at all?

Here is the code in my CPT template:

<div class="upvote">
    <?php echo do_shortcode(
        '[wp_ulike for="thing" id="' . get_the_ID() . 
        '" style="wpulike-twitter"]'); ?>
</div><!-- .upvote -->

So I guess a question that I’m asking is this: Is the id linked to the CPT or is it just an arbitrary id that gets looked up in the ULike database? Does it expect an integer?

Could I change this code to:

<div class="upvote">
    <?php echo do_shortcode(
        '[wp_ulike for="thing" id="' . $issueNum . get_the_ID() . 
        '" style="wpulike-twitter"]'); ?>
</div><!-- .upvote -->
