in the latest nightly builds, TSVN correctly finds that the link points 
to a file and the repository browser will then show the content of the 
parent folder of that file. Of course, the users will still see all the 
other files in that folder.

You could use links like this:
tsvn://svn://servername/projectname/docname.doc
instead. That will open up the checkout dialog for that url.

If you want to open the link in a webbrowser, you'd have to implement an 
asynchronous pluggable protocol handler 
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767743(VS.85).aspx) for the 
svn protocol (and if you're at it, the svn+ssh protocol as well).
