Steve, we'd love to support this behavior but unfortunately Apple's Calendars & Reminders framework (EventKit) currently does not provide a working way for third-party apps to populate the URL field of a reminder. This limitation has been known to developers for several years and multiple bug reports and feature requests have been submitted to Apple. Unfortunately, the behavior has not changed so far. Because of this limitation, we store the email link in the reminder's Notes field instead which ensures that the link remains accessible from the reminder. If Apple addresses this issue in a future macOS release, we'd be happy to revisit your request.
