You don't have to send to their MIcrosoft account e-mail address, you can input any e-mail address, when they use the link they can then use an existing Microsoft account or create a new one. So you don't have to know what their Microsoft account address is.
On that note, the easiest way I tell people externally to login when they get a link is to use their Skype account. Everyone usually has Skype, and that's a Microsoft account so it works well.
