If I drag the above URL out of Mail and to the Finder, the Finder creates a .afploc file (like it would create a .webloc if I drag a web URL).  That .afploc file has a very straightforward format.  It's just a plist dictionary with a single key, "URL", with a string value which is the URL.

You could create one of those.  Would that be sufficient?

Ken
