Email links to pending articles

We are trying to set up a way for our contributors to submit articles to publish in our newspaper. We have plugins setup for them to log in, create their post, and submit it. It can even send them an email that says the post has been submitted. Is there a way to add a link to the post they just created (that will be in pending status), or even a list of all of their pending content, and without them being able to edit the pending content?

What I need though is an email that sends them a link to the post they just submitted. We are restricting them from having dashboard access, so a direct link via email seems the best way for them to view it (not edit the submitted content).

Hope this makes sense. Hope this is possible ??
Thanks!
