I might be missing something, but I don't see a problem with a valid
trust worthy email contact is giving a person a valid and secure web
address.
If I received something unsolicited, I would never trust it.
But I have communicated with clients and services and asked them for
direct links to get things right. Paypal and ebay sends direct links.
Google with their adsense also sends direct links for resources...
actually in the case of Google, the links I get are the results of
reports that I request, via email.
But again, I'm always very careful. I very careful analyze a link (by
hovering over it) before clicking. I also study the address of the page
that comes up before interacting with the page.
So, to say I can't say I wouldn't trust a bona fide person to send me a
bona fide web resource. If it's not possible and common, I might be
missing something.

A bank should never send email asking users to enter personal
information into web-sites linked from the email. I would switch
banks if my bank did that, but I don't give my bank my email address,
so I guess I am protected from finding out.
