Something I was able to figure out that proves useful:
If you name the recording with http ot https then you will be able to provide a link to the actual url in the alert.
Example: name the alert "http://www.google.com"
In the alert email add the following:
<a href="${N=SwisEntity;M=Recording.Name}">Web Site With Problem <-Click me to go to site</a>
When the alert is sent, there will be a link called "Web Site With Problem <-Click me to go to site" and the underlying link references http://www.google.com
If you name the alert without http ot https then you will receive the full url to the solarwinds page of http://yourservername/orion/somethinghere/recordingname
Hope this helps someone.
