Is there a way to get a link that when clicked it will auto acknowledge

What I would like to do, ideally, is have a script that emails out the
information but also includes a link so that anyone that gets the email
can acknowledge the alert just by clicking it.
Well, acknowledge.sh is accessible in the xymon-seccgi path so you
should be able to construct an appropriate URL to it. I quick sampling
on my own server shows the following information is sent as a POST
DELAY_1=2&PERIOD_1=min&MESSAGE_1=foo&NUMBER_1=509331&HOSTNAME_1=bar.state.ak.us&TESTNAME_1=conn&Send_1=Send
The questions are, where does the NUMBER value come from, and will a GET
work (or must you POST)?
There is also xymon-mailack which might meet your needs.
DESCRIPTION
xymon-mailack normally runs as an input mail-filter for the xymon user, e.g. by being called from the xymon users' procmailrc(5) file. xymon-mailack recognizes e-mails that are replies to xymond_alert(8) mail alerts, and converts the reply mail into an acknowledge message that is sent to the Xymon system. This permits an administrator to acknowledge an alert via e-mail.
