You would have to change your notify-by-email command to pipe the data to a script which would probably use regex to match certain alert results, then append a specified url, then finally email it out. Eg:

define command{

    command_name    notify-by-email

    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios Alert *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | **/bin/alertparser.pl**
    }

Then your alertparser.pl would have to parse standard input… do some if then else statements based on that, append a kb link and output the message to your mail program.
