For context, when viewing contacts, the email field is already clickable, but when viewing the contact assignments from the object's perspective the email address is no longer clickable.

Similar to FR for the phone field as well: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/17072

just a note. it can be useful that this field isn't a mailto when needing to copy the address for use elsewhere.
if forcing them all email address fields to be a href-mailto it would be great if there was a "copy" button added beside it to copy the email value.

Let's merge this into #17072 as they're very closely related and can easily be implemented together.
