Wish I had kept the patch I did to Cacti that let one use a URL with a
host=name parameter to easily link to the graph page for a Cacti host
.. crud .. not difficult to add this functionality to Cacti though so
you can use the action_url or notes_url attributes of the host (or
hostextinfo objects if in Nagios 2) to link to Cacti hosts.

if you do go the Cacti route, I have an immature but working project
that can help integrate information between Cacti and Nagios ..
