You can create them. URL structure is sorta like this:

`http://discourse.example.com/posts?api_key=abc123&api_username=system&archetype=private_message&title=title&raw=message&target_usernames=username1,username2`

Send a private message and with Chrome developer tools watch the Network tab. (You can learn a lot of neat functionality doing that.)
