Emailing a link to a file on an SMB server

Question

How do you create a link to a file on an SMB server, to send to other people (e.g. in email)?
In a large corporation with mixed Mac/Windows network we use Samba to allow Mac OS X 10.6 to access the file servers.
This works fine for basic operations such as browsing the servers, or copying files, etc. However, it isn't clear how to create a link to a file on a server, such that it can be emailed to people.
Creating a link to a folder works ok, via this syntax:
    smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/
When the email recipient clicks on the link (which appears by default as blue underlined), OS X automatically mounts the server as a local volume, and Finder  opens a window so that they can see the folder contents.
But when trying to create a link to a particular file, via this syntax:
    smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
It doesn't work. When the recipient clicks on the link, Finder appears to mount an empty fictitious volume called SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4, containing no files. It is as if the URL parsing support for Samba links only supports referencing directories rather than individual files.
By contrast, on Windows sharing a file can be done via this syntax:
     \\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.mp4
And clicking on the link would automatically open the file (e.g. in whatever application is associated to play the video, edit the document, etc).
Is there any way to create a clickable link to a file (not folder) on an SMB server?

Thank you for trying to help.
However, that utility does not solve the problem as far as I can tell. Regardless of whether the link text is typed in manually, or is 'snagged' via some utility, it still doesn't work in the case I was mentioning. All options in PathSnagger require that the drive is already mounted, as far as I can tell. And once it is mounted, PathSnagger generates the following strings for various options:
     Snag Path Windows:          \Volumes\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path Unix:               /Volumes/servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path HFS:          servername:SomeFolder:AnotherFolder:FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path File:          file://localhost/Volumes/servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
Note that none of these retain the original server location and protocol (smb://servername) because the volume is now mounted. As such, if emailed to another recipient, in general they do not work.
Perhaps my original question was not clear. Is there any way to create a clickable link to a file (not a folder) on an SMB server, so that the link can be emailed to other people, and email recipient clicks on the click, the file is opened? (And server volumes mounted automatically as necessary)
On Windows it can be done via a link such as:
     \\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.txt
On Mac, the corresponding support for Samba URLs seems incomplete. A link such as:
     smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.txt
does not appear to work even on the sender's computer, and even if the server is already mounted.
The expected behaviour is that when a user (e.g. email recipient) clicks on the link, it should mount the server (if necessary) and open the file (in the example above, FileToShare.txt). Unfortunately, this does not seem to happen.
