Description
Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?
N/A
Orgmode link
No response
Feature value
It would be very useful to link an email in orgmode. Atm I'm copying parts of emails for reference in my org files.
Additional context
In emacs there is a way to link e-mails in the org-mode files using the native email client. I've also found Linking to emails in org-mode (using neomutt) which relies on org plugins to send the message-id to emacs.
It would be great if nvim-orgmode supports calling nmutt (and other clients?) with the message-id to view an email (in a popup?).
It should be simpler to implement this on the nvim side.
The copying of the message-id in nmutt is solved in the issue I raised on their GitHub https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/3293

Research direction
Start by reviewing how nvim-orgmode handles links and how nmutt or other email clients expose a message-id for opening a message. Compare the linked neomutt approach with Emacs orgmode behavior, then define what client invocation and popup behavior would count as complete.
