AFAIK, there isn't a protocol for specifying sms links.  However,  
there are the beginnings of some kind of "sms://" URI protocol  
handler in the iPhone today.  If you send an email to an email acct  
on your iPhone with links like these...

   <sms://nnn5551212?text=testing this out>

   <sms://nnn5551212?text=testing this out>

   <sms://nnn5551212?msg=testing this out>

   <sms://devon?text=testing this out>

   <sms://devon?msg=testing this out>

   <sms://devon hubbard?msg=testing this out>

   <sms://devon hubbard?text=testing this out>

(where 'nnn5551212' is a desired telephone number)

...the links will appear active in the email, and when you click  
them, the iPhone will take you to the SMS client app.  But the SMS  
app is in a weird state because it displays "Text Messages" as the  
title on the top of the window, with no edit or create buttons on  
either side, and no other content but a solid black screen  The  
iPhone isn't hung or anything like that at this point.  You can click  
home and get out of it and clicking on the "SMS" icon takes you back  
into text messaging with the expected display.

fwiw.. some variations in the text in the sms msg result in the link  
doing nothing.  For example, if you try and use a telephone in the  
format '+nnn5551212', clicking on the link displayed on your iPhone  
simple does nothing.
