I do this for a number of plug-ins.  The problem you need to deal with is
that the plug-in output gets sent around in notifications and is archived
in various places.  You have to be careful about where you point it or
you run the risk of clicking on a link in an older email that takes you
to an incorrect page.   At a minimum you want to make sure you have time
and dates in the detailed info and perhaps even a unique sublink so that
every time you generate a link and the associated data it is unique which
(depending on your browser) may give you a clue if you click on a link from
an older message that points to a newer data page.

I suppose if your link was an index into a database and the target page
was just the lookup code you would be in good shape.
