General Development URL question

Im trying to make a custom link that will take you to the edit page of a record and  then highlight (focus) a certain field. Is  there a way to do this? Also is there a list or documents that SF has put out saying what will work in the URL? (List of commands)
Thanks for your help.

The standard link to edit any object is:
 
 
There are some more options available. For instance, if you select Edit from a Search List, the link is
 
 
In this case the return url is the result of advanced search on the substr salesforce.com.
 
Make a specific field the target may be a little harder.
 
If you want to edit a specific field, you might consider hosting a simple page that can be popped up as a window showing on the field you want to change, along with save and cancel buttons. This might be possible with Ajax and scontrols, eliminating the need for a separate host.
