Objects have an absolute_url method that will give their full URL.

<dtml-var "someobject.absolute_url()">

or

<dtml-with someobject><dtml-var absolute_url></dtml-with>

or (better)

<a href="" tal:attributes="href context/someobject/absolute_url">link 
text</a>

or (Python script)

here.someobject.absolute_url()

          --jcc
