This is unexpected and very sweet. It is not documented in the release notes nor the product help AFAICS.
Here’s some screenshots:
Option-Apple-Spacebar:
showing the “kind” of items indexed
~/Library/Caches/Metadata:
each indexed nsf has a folder named with the db’s replica id
Inside each folder are xml PLIST files named according to the unid of the indexed doc. One file for each doc. Here’s an example - its contents is property/value pairs of relevant searchable info like the senders/recipients/content/subject of an email
Have you meet this problem with other searched out entries or just this one?
Is Notes running when you click the entry?
Did you clean install Notes or upgrade from an older version?
And, the last question is, have you kept multiple Notes applications on your System?
The new installed Notes will register itself to open the searched result. If you only kept one Notes application and it didn’t reflect to your click action. There may be some launch service issue. Try to drag Notes.app to another folder and then drag it back to /Application to see if it’s workable.

Hope this will be truth for the Mac, Spotlight support would be great, hope the same will happen on Windows, I’m bored of using that resources blowing Google Desktop Enterprise…
