You can do this:
open location "mailto:email@hidden?subject=Subject Here&body=Click Here"
This will open a new message in the default mail client to email@hidden with the subject "Subject Here" and a link to http://www.example.com in the body. The first underlined portion is the actual URL, and the second is the displayed text. You could just replace the bits of the link with your own. All the sending user has to do is click send. Whether or not the link will be clickable for the receiver depends on your email configurations.
If it isn't, another option is to put a link into an HTML file and send that as an attachment. You can't, as far as I know, add attachments with a script.

A better option altogether might be to script the email application. You could have it make a new message to someone, make a link, and send.

I work in a small company (we're 17).
It happens very often to tell a colleague: go and see this file on the server.
I would like to use AS to send the path to the file by email, so that
the recipient just has to click on the link to open the remote file.

I've got the URL of the file.
Ex:
file://localhost/Volumes/Clients/C/CNP/CNP 3028 congrès alumni-sponsoring cto/CNP 3028-003 Programme/CNP Programme v4.indd

And there ... I'm stuck.
Anyone have a idea?
Which format to use to send it by mail?
Should I create a script on the recipient side for the Finder select
this file directly?
And .. how to do this?

TIA.

Oli.
