We have a legacy application in Lotus Notes which I occasionally need to direct others to through either email or a web page. I've had a look and Notes supports right-click->Copy as link which gives me the following on the clipboard:
TITLE
<NDL>
<REPLICA 41256489:003B32D7>
<VIEW OF23697E95:6CDA5D6D-ON412564C7:00553BC3>
<NOTE OF6BCA8821:34ABD6F6-ONC12577C8:0034BEF2>
<HINT>CN=XXX/O=YYY</HINT>
<REM>....</REM>
</NDL>
(slightly anonymized).
How can I create a hyperlink which – when clicked – allow others to open Notes to this location?
Note: We run 5.0.11.

First, right click-> Copy like above. Then, in a new memo, highlight the text you want to make into a hyperlink and go to Create -> Hotspot -> Link Hotspot. A little window will popup. At the right hand side of the Value field, there is a paste button. Click that to paste your info. Then close the window and send the message. That text will be a link to whatever you pasted in.
If you want to play around with URLs and such, that same Link Hotspot can link to URLs by changing the type from Document to URL and then just setting the value.
Hope this helps!
