You ARE missing something: the datatype of additional params--it's
/string/ NOT stdWrap (which it would have to be in order for what
you've tried to work).

The way to do what you're trying is to use typolink to retrieve ONLY
the url, and to add your parameters to it afterwards--it's a bit ugly,
but it will work:

temp.tip = COA
temp.tip {
  # Build the opening a tag:
  5 = COA
  5 {
    wrap = |<a href="|">|

    # Start the link:
    5 = TEXT
    5 {
      typolink {
        parameter = 36
        returnLast = url
      }
    }

    # Get the next parameter:
    10 = TEXT
    10 {
      dataWrap = &tipUrl={getIndpEnv:TYPO3_REQUEST_URL}
    }
  }

  # Write the link text and close the tag:
  10 = TEXT
  10 {
    value = Email a friend
    wrap = |</a>
  }
}

If you don't understand datatypes in the TSref, you may want to read
