@auth.requires_login()
def email_link_redirector():
    if not request.args(0):
        raise HTTP(404)
    redirect(URL('maintenance', 'tickets', args=['edit', 'ticket', 
request.args(0)], user_signature=True))

and send the ticket email with a link to this email_link_redirector/ticketid

if you're worried that only the user receiving the mail should indeed be 
able to open the link you send, then use a precalculated hmac_key. 
Something along the lines of
 
'secret_of_your_choice' + id_of_the_user + '_' + int(time.time()) \ 600 

will even make that link expiring if too much time has passed (in the 
previous example, 600 secs)
in that case, replace the 
if not request.args(0)
with
if not URL.verify(request, hmac_key=whatyouchoose) : raise HTTP(403)

and generate the link to email using 
URL('email_link_redirector', args=ticketid, hmac_key=whatyouchoose)
