No, mailto: is different. It tells the mail client to create a new message with 
the header filled in with the URI. message: [1] opens a received message-id.

However, it's apparently supported only by Apple mail on macOS, so it doesn't 
really make sense to support it in GnuCash. One can easily use File>Export as 
PDF in Apple Mail and link to the saved PDF in GnuCash.
