Here is the best way I can think of:

<dtml-if expr="REQUEST.steps[-1] == document_id">
	...Then we were called from the URL...
<dtml-else>
	...We weren't...
</dtml-if>

This won't work with index_html methods or documents that are called by
specifying the URL of their parent, but you could extend the expression
to work in that case as well.

If the thing is a python script then it would be:

if context.REQUEST.steps[-1] == script.getId():
	...We were called by URL...
else:
	...We weren't...
