Use Transaction ID instead of Subscription ID for Tracking

Hi, I just purchased the Pro version and was wondering how I could use Transaction ID instead of Subscription ID for my Membership Signup Tracking Codes. This is already done automatically by s2member with one-time purchases (as in this case, there are no subscription IDs to pass), so there must be a way around (?)
Reason: I use iDevAffiliate. Their fraud protection allows to select "order number" as a unique reference so no sale gets commissioned twice. If I'd like to pay my affiliates on a recurring base, using the Subscription ID as "order number" for fraud protection would not work as it always stays the same.
So how could I possibly forward the transaction id istead of the string %%subscr_id%% as my "order number"? As the transaction ID always changes, it would allow me to 1) have fraud protection on and 2) pay affiliates recurring commissions.
