You can easily change and create e-mail templates under System - Transactional Mails. There you can create a new e.g. order confirmation mail and you can add your general tracking link there. You can find an overview over the variables you can use in the mail here. Afterwards, you can define to use the new mail template under System - Configuration - Sales - Sales Mails.
If you need an individual one, you first have to tell us where the tracking number is saved...
