Where are the wildcards gone?

I have the following problem with rules: i need to send an email to a role when new content is created so they can verify it and enable it...
i first wanted to solve this with triggers but there is no option like sending to a specific role and also no option to send only if it is a specific content type. So rules solved all my problem but i have no wildcards in the mail!
trigger allows me to send the node_url and author and so on so the editor who will read the mail see instantly whats about. with the rules module I can send the mail but the editor has then fist go to our site, take a look at the content page and so on... is there any posibility to enable these wildcards like trigger has in rules?
