Or, using the UR (AUR?) 28, r14c79:-

3r4c7 = 1r4c79 - r6c89 = (1 - 3)r6c5 = r6c3; r4c1 <> 3

(Yes, I know I should stick the letters UR or AUR in there somewhere, but I haven't yet quite figured that out.)

This exposes the same 24, 48, 28 XY-wing, which solves the puzzle.

I am not a specialist of notations, but for me, your notation is quite clear.
If you want to make a reference to the UR inside the "Eureka notation", you could write, for example :
    UR(28)r14c79 = 3r4c7 = 1r4c79 - r6c89 = (1 - 3)r6c5 = r6c3; r4c1 <> 3
    or
    UR(28)r14c79[3r4c7 = 1r4c79] - r6c89 = (1 - 3)r6c5 = r6c3; r4c1 <> 3
where UR stands for Unresolvable Rectangle , at least one of a,b,c, ... is true while writing a=b=c=... and a derived SIS is written inside the brackets as a result of the UR.

If you don't mind brevity, the below should be adequate when using one strong link for internal DP busters.

3r4c7 =AUR= 1r4c79 - r6c89 = (1 - 3)r6c5 = r6c3; r4c1 <> 3

The "=AUR=" indicates a strong link due to a (surprise) AUR. Very Happy

 ste

What also caught my attention was the number of Hidden Singles in the ste.

Thanks JC & Ronk. Both seem good, but since I'm all for brevity I'll probably go for Ronk's, which matches what I do myself when I'm writing down moves: I write a subscript UR under the =.

Daj. My young grandson startled us all one day by saying solemnly [Grandpa], "That's seriously clever" - it seems apposite to echo that back to you.
