Tim,

My memory is a bit fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember at least one,
likely more systems in the early 90's that did this.   Lotus cc:Mail, 
Notes,
and possibly a system by Oracle of the time. 

The concept of invokable hyperlinks (long before Tim dreamt up URLs) in 
email (and in any other Notes document) to another Notes document (or 
collection of Notes documents) was a key feature of Lotus Notes from day 1 
(in the mid 1980s).
