Is there a way to create a regular web (or anchor) link that will open a Notes client and display a pre-determined database from the workplace?

try this for a local database: notes:///[drive]:/[path_to_notes_data]/[database.nsf]

This will open the database in the notes-client.

    The server on which this database resides is "HUB/Report", how would this fit into the syntax provided? – rnnbrwn Sep 07 '09 at 13:41

Thorstens answer should work for databases on servers aswell:

notes://[server name]/[path-to-database-on-server]

..or 

notes://[server name]/__[replica-id].nsf

The Notes client seems to replace "/" with "@" in the server name to create a server name without slashes - but the host name or ip of the server should work.

I believe that leaving the server name out (or specifying 127.0.0.1) will use the currently active replica on the desktop - possibly with priority to local replicas.

notes:///__[replica-id].nsf

Some details can be found in the footnote here: Specifying valid notesurl entries
