I am trying to make a clickable "mailto:" out of a string field in kibana.

For example: field contains "[test@example.com](mailto:test@example.com)", then the field will be displayed as a link that opens the default email client (e.g. `<a href="mailto:test@example.com?subject=testing">`) when clicked.

Is that possible?

Hi, thanks for the request, I'm not sure but I think this is not currently possible in Kibana.  
Could you please open an enhancement request here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature\_request.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md)  
Thank you
