For a pure Gmail solution, you can accomplish almost what you want by judicious use of search and the Canned Responses Lab. That will make sending identical messages to a bunch of people relatively easy.
Another option would be to use some third-party ...

Facebook does not provide a way to have groups that anyone can join instantly. Someone already in the group must add them, or they can request approval from a group admin.
The likely reason for not providing this is that it would attract spammers. Old-style open groups had spam problems and they did not even have the new group notification or chat ...

A very simple low-tech work-around is to maintain a file (e.g., Word, outlook task, etc.) with a list of these hyper-linked phrases and copy-paste the one you need into Gmail.
Another option that should work in most email clients like outlook is to define a simple signature for each such hyper-link.

The Google+ API is read only at the moment. Google is working with select partners to provide the Page API which allows writing to the page. You may be able to work with one of these partners (see http://www.google.com/+/business/3rdpartytools.html) to get what you need.
You can also request access to this API at ...

Pre-/Post-events sound like project planning, which made me think of MS Project. Google found me the Microsoft® Project to Google® Calendar tool.
It's been a while since I used MS Project, but I'm pretty sure you can link events like the way you've suggested.
I'm pretty sure that other import/export ways are possible (e.g., export from MSProject to iCal, ...

There's also a paper on a Firefox extension called HyperBK, ...

You may wish to look at the SortPlaces Firefox extension. According to its extensions home page:
SortPlaces is also designed to work with the SyncPlaces extension to automatically sort your bookmarks when you synchronise them.
