Derek:

On MacOS it is possible to get a URL that takes you to a mail message(in mail.app). The URL is of the form <message://<3745692383.13655895.1603345168...@email.apple.com>
First, the more cross-platform uri would be mailto:

It looks to me like the message: prefix does something different than the mailto: prefix.

Derek, I suspect you are alluding to the mailto: prefix being followed by an email address. Clicking that link causes the app to (possibly transfer to an email app, and) create a UI for composing a new message to that email address. Other decoration can pre-fill the Subject line.

It seems to me that Ira is alluding to the message: prefix being followed by an identifier of an email message. Perhaps it is the Message-ID value, which can be formatted similarly to an email address, but is not one. Clicking that link causes the app to (possibly transfer to an email app, and) open that message for reading.  It does not seem to compose a new message.

I may be wrong, but it seems you two might be talking past each other a bit.

Hope this helps with communication,

Second, the issue is that gnucash catches all uris internally so there are no external bindings.

I am running Gnucash for under MacOS mojave. On MacOS it is possible to get a URL that takes you to a mail message(in mail.app).

If I enter this URL as the location for an association and then try to go to it in gnucash, I get the error message that the file cannot be found. (If the URL is pasted into Safari, it opens the email message directly). It would be very helpful if Gnucash associations could point to email invoices directly.
