Why should this be impossible? I use links to emails all the time, in Zim and
other programs. It depends very much on which email client you use, presumably
also your OS.
Under OS X (Mojave now, but this has worked since many years) and Apple mail it
works.
The Applescript to fetch the mail URL is the following (I don’t remember the
original author)
#######
tell application "Mail"
set _sel to get selection
set _links to {}
repeat with _msg in _sel
set _messageURL to "message://%3c" & _msg's message id & "%3e"
set end of _links to _messageURL
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set the clipboard to (_links as string)
end tell
