One thing which is irritating to me with OpenERP is the lack of permalink. This is normally one of the essential feature you'd expect from a web application, and a very good level of interroperability with eg. bookmarks, mail, wiki, etc… I don't speak about a share feature, which gives you rights on content with a strange url (and create fuss in users).

Is there any module providing this that I missed ?

I know it's not hard to build those links (just have to use model=my.model&id=my.id). So if no module exists I should try to make one.

Sadly, my karma did not allow me to link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink

Maybe I didn't understand your question properly, but every link in OpenERP is a permalink. It contains the view, the model, and the record id. So you can copy the URL and send it to anyone else who has access to the document and it will bring them straight to that page. And of course you can bookmark any page in OpenERP.

You did understand me, but what you say does not seems to work for me. Say I go on settings, applications, I click on "Social network", my url is still http://myhost/?db=xxx#menu_id=60&action=39 which correspond to the list, but not the item. Moreover some view (eg. to choose an item) open in overlay, so I can't get url.

Does not work as Fabrice described for me either. The links do not work when pasting into a browser that is not currently logged in to OpenERP. For example, when a user clicks on this link, https://myhost/?db=mydb#id=23&view_type=form&model=res.partner&menu_id=79&action=62 they get the Login Page, and then, the first alphabetic contact. After login, if they paste the URL into the address bar again, then the URL takes them to the correct contact. Rather irritating.

I assumed you would be logged in.

I don't know why it should make a difference. It's expected behavior that post-login should return to the previously requested record.
