Absolute urls don't seem to work in webItems in emails

Hi,

I tried to add webItems with absolute urls to the “email.batch.content.action.links” and “email.adg.action.links” sections. However it seems that absolute urls currently don’t work in these sections.

If I add the following to my atlassian-connect.json:

    "webItems": [
      {
        "location": "email.batch.content.action.links",
        "weight": 200,
        "url": "https://example.org",
        "name": {
          "value": "Reply by email"
        },
        "key": "email-button-reply-by-email"
      },
      {
        "location": "email.adg.action.links",
        "weight": 200,
        "url": "https://example.org",
        "name": {
          "value": "Reply by email"
        },
        "key": "email-button-reply-by-email2"
      },
      {
        "location": "system.content.button",
        "weight": 200,
        "url": "https://example.org",
        "name": {
          "value": "Reply by email"
        },
        "key": "email-button-reply-by-email3"
      },
      {
        "location": "email.adg.footer.links",
        "weight": 200,
        "url": "https://example.org",
        "name": {
          "value": "Reply by email"
        },
        "key": "email-button-reply-by-email4"
      }
    ],

Links are generated in emails however they get converted to relative urls:

In contrast to that adding an absolute url to “system.content.button” works fine:

My ultimate goal is not to add https:// links but mailto: links to the emails but needless to say just like absolute urls mailto: links don’t seem to work in the email sections.

Is this the intended behavior? Is there anyway to bypass this limitation?

All the Best
