Right. But having "hunted for" and found it, I then also had immediately
at hand the context of the several other email messages back and forth
between myself and others regarding the issue in question. I found that
useful in my situation.

"do better" is a matter of definition, or of personal taste. I
implemented what was convenient and useful for my needs, and offered the
script for whatever it is worth as my poor substitute for the clickable
link requested by the OP (which I would like to have, too). If you have
other needs, feel free to ignore the script.
