How about putting the following in your template (in place of the
<!--function:...--> you wrote above):

   <a href='$PageUrl-Discussion'>Discuss</a>

It won't do the ?-link if the discussion page doesn't exist, but if
someone follows the "Discuss" link they'll be invited to edit it.
If it's really important to have the ?-link for a non-existent
discussion page, let me know and I'll come up with something.  :)
