Both newsreaders and Google Groups support news: URIs, so I suggest to use 
those: <news:2377471.k03CVt3Ec2@PointedEars.de>.  However, when having 
selected an archived Usenet newsgroup (and only then), even Google Groups 
still has a “Message-ID” field in its “Advanced Search” form.  (If only the 
Web interface was not so buggy and spammed, it could almost be a decent 
Usenet archive again.)
