    You can achieve this using MSFT Graph API. Each returned mail object has a webLink property. The value of that returned webLink property is what you need.

    I was able to implement that using Power Automate for my use case.

    Likely, this feature is copyrighted by Google for their Gmail app, and if Outlook creates this feature, then they infringe on IP. That's why Teams and Outlook are frequently clunky wrt gmail....

    (Heard from someone who worked for years at MSFT on the Teams code...)

    I also am looking for a way to get a link to a specific email. I would prefer to use the Outlook desktop app but an willing to use Outlook for the web.
    Here is my scenario:

    I want to be able to paste a link to a specific email in Microsoft Project, Microsoft Planner or OneNote. I don't want to have to save my email as a file and put it as an attachment. I want to be able to open the specific email when I click the link in Project, Planner, OneNote or any other program and be able to respond to the email and to see any associated emails.

    This should be very easy to do. There must be a way to link to a specific email.

    I think Eleni Constantinou has the question confused...maybe?

    @Greg Esteban, please forgive me if that is not your question and spamming your post!

    I need to create a link TO an existing email that I is in my inbox. I DO NOT want to create hyperlink in an email. I already know how to do that.

    I want to create a link that points to the email and paste into my project mgmt. program so I can easily reference that specific email.

    In Gmail as long as you have the Reading Pane settings on No split, you just copy the URL, paste it anywhere, and you view that email page anytime.

    Currently, when I try that in Outlook, I get a page that shows my entire inbox, not the specific email that I want to see.

    Thanks

    Can you dumb this down for me? That link looks like it requires some degree of technical skill (something I don't have). Is there a simple solution for non-technical users?
