authenticate user through URL



Step 1: a user sends me his/her email address.
Step 2: I send an email back to that address that contains a long
URL like:

.../wa/DirectAction/authenticate?<users email address>&<a random number that represents a temporary password>

Step 3: When users click on the URL, they will be taken to a page that allows them to register
for the site if the email and temp password match one of the records in the TempPerson table.


QUESTION:

Is it possible to set things up so that in the email, the user sees something like: 'click here' such that
that 'click here' hyperlink points to the long URL above (without the user seeing the long URL)?


I am not so much concerned with security issues, but rather with creating convenient and reliable
hyperlink.



Thank you,

Mike W.
