URL to send Instant Message

Is there a simple way to have a URL on a web page that opens an instant
message to a particular messenger address ?

Greetings Simon,

There is, the protocol handler is msnim:

msnim:chat?contact=

Just add that as a hyperlink and change the address to whatever you wish.
