This is very clever!
I have an issue where the link only works for myself. Do you know if there is a way to get a link to an email so that anyone on that thread can click and go to that email?
I've tried to find a solution and this is the closest I've come. It works great for self reference, however if I want to tell a team member "check out this email thread and continue the conversation there " I cannot seem to make it work.

Any advice is helpful!

That seems very unlikely - you wouldn't want other people to be able to get into your email ;)

Oh yea I see what you mean, I was hopeful that there's a solution like if Bob, Jack, and Susan are on an email with me, and I need to link to that email thread some time down the road so they can just click and go to it. Ideally, it would work for people already included in that email chain/thread
-edit:
So that if Bob clicks the link it brings them to the email thread, but if someone not included in the original email clicks it (maybe Charles), they won't have access.

Replace #inbox with #all to be able to open email later even if you archive it.
