I use links to thunderbird messages.

The links are in the form:

imap://<user>@<host>:<port>/fetch%3EUID>/<mailbox name>%3E<uid>

(%3E is equivalent to >)

You just have to add an appropriate "x-scheme-handler". I added:

x-scheme-handler/imap=thunderbird.desktop

To $HOME/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

To get the link I use a convoluted method, drag the message to the file 
manager, in KDE this creates a .desktop file, inside that file we have 
the link. I'll be watching the extension mentioned on this thread!
