In Lightning Experience, the URL for this page looks like this:
https://na1.lightning.force.com/lightning/setup/ObjectManager/Case/RecordTypes/012300000012BYNQAG/view?0.source=alohaHeader
The 15 alphanumerical characters can be found by removing the last 3 digits of the characters between "RecordTypes/" and "/view' (For example, 012300000012BYN by removing the QAG in 012300000012BYNQAG).
