Allow linking to specific emails (e.g. m3://<db-item>)

As @gmg wrote in this other thread, linking to emails already works with a bit of a workaround.

Yes, but something like this:
m3://all#messageID

Could be the URL when browsing a certain message in the multi view.

At the very least these message URLs should be easier to access.

Voting up for this. It would be a good productivity enhancement.

Although not easily accessible, this feature is already mostly implemented (see https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/59140/use-new-translation-engine-also-for-emails/10?_=1636921704652).

I believe that one crucial part is missing (please correct me if I'm wrong), and that is specifying views.
For instance, I'd like to create a chain where Ctrl+m always leads me to M3's Unread view, but I could not find how to access this instead of the last used view.

The suggestion I made about allowing to link to a specific email is that I can avoid copying content or describe how to hunt down some email that I may want to reference to. I do this occasionally but already that usecase is certainly a bit far fetched for most.

Wasn't that the original purpose of hyper-text?

(And if it were implemented like how V. Forums display the text of post links...)

Sorta like re-entrant code: One copy in RAM, however many users running (using) the program — with their own protected user space/RAM... Elegant!

Necro-bumping this thread because now we have a tasks panel in Vivaldi 5.5 and adding an email to become a task by right-clicking it and linking it directly within the task is now even more useful than ever before

Or you could direcly create a note/calendar entry/todo from the context menu of an email, immediately linking those documents with each other

Fastmail have implemented Notes for emails, and I still think Vivaldi should make more use of leveraging the interaction of its built features

As an aside, it's also useful to be able to link to anythink in Vivaldi (be it an email, an event, or note, ...) for other applications.
Someone asked for this (not specifically thinking about Vivaldi) on Mastodon: https://social.vivaldi.net/@[email protected]/113312954251881482

Another instance on the web where someone likes linking things to emails, here: notes.
