In views.py file, you can pass the link as a context dictionary to template:

def function_name(request):
    generated_link = 'generated_link'
    context = {
       'link': generated_link 
    }
    return render(request,"documentPage.html",context=context)

You can extends template as :

{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block body %}

 # Write body here
 <a href="{{link}}">Click Me</a>

{% endblock %}
