The standard method to open documents in a Lotus Notes client from a Web link is by accessing the "Notes://" URL. You can find the proper syntax for this on the second to last tab of the document properties of each Lotus Notes document under the "Identifier."
There is a caveat for this method to work, however. You also must know the UNID of the Notes document.
If you don't have the UNID but know the view and the key, you can still open documents in Lotus Notes from a link on the Web using following code in an agent. I suggest naming it something like:
http://server/dbpath/agnName?OpenAgent&view=viewname&key=keyvalue
