Hi Gert,
I did this with a B2B workflow on a shopping cart
approval.  I did a modeled deadline off the container
step, then added a sendselfdescription task after the
deadline.  I passed the workitem for the previous step
to the mail step, then plugged the URL info in the
message.
 
When the deadline is reached the data is passed to the
mail step, then the message is passed to the SAP
Exchange connector and the mail is sent.
 
When the mail arrives in the recipient's inbox, they
click on the URL, which brings them to the work item.
 
Regards,
