I have tried all sorts of ways to do this and none have worked. All I really want to accomplish is have a file hyperlink pointing to a template email I've created for a specific dashboard panel I use.. this is the latest attempt, where the link to google is, I would simply replace with Click to send email
If you're looking to create a button on the event that allows you to send e-mail, an easy method would be to use "Workflow Actions":

This even allows you to change the URI based on field contents.
You could also place a link on a dashboard using an HTML panel:

sorry, some of my text got eaten by the submission... but I'm hoping there's enough here to demonstrate what I'm trying to do
