Those are Message-IDs, not links.

For example, your article to which I'm replying has this header line:

    Message-ID: <up9ve1$roj9$1@dont-email.me>

There isn't necessarily a good way to look up an article given its
Message-ID.  The newsreader I use, Gnus, has a 'j' command
(gnus-summary-goto-article) that takes either an article number (a
sequential number within a newsgroup, specific to a given NNTP server)
or a Message-ID (should be unique across all of Usenet) as an argument.

I don't know whether Thunderbird has a similar feature.

There's a package called "sinntp", a "tiny non-interactive NNTP client",
that includes a command "nttp-get" that can fetch an article given its
Message-ID (if you specify the server and authentication information).
