Currently hyperlinks in tables must begin with www., http:// or https://. Add "mailto:" as an accepted hyperlink prefix.
This would be very helpful for quickly allowing users to see an insight in the data, have the dashboard tell them who the right person to contact would be to address the issue or opportunity, and easily initiate an email to that person.

You can now use many new URL types, including mailto links, in tables! Learn more in our blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables

RE: Allow mailto: hyperlinks in Power BI tables
Any update on this?
RE: Allow mailto: hyperlinks in Power BI tables
I agree that this would be a great feature to have as part of the standard options. Feedback on a dashboard is important and this is a time saver option for said feedback in large organisations.
RE: Allow mailto: hyperlinks in Power BI tables
Yes, this is a very nice feature, we also need to allow text box (on the dashboard) to have a "mailto:name@example.com" link for "Help / Questions" which will directly open a new mail in the outlook
