I don't know how much of a standard it is, but I've seen the following  
schemes in use:

1) Linking to a newsgroup: news://www.example.com/comp.lang.d
2) Linking to a specific post: news://www.example.com/messageid@example.com
    (disambiguated by presence of @)

It's disappointing that major news clients (e.g. Thunderbird) don't  
implement them.
