The problem you're addressing (if any)

Clicking a mailto: link opens the link in either the same VM or in a new disposable VM. In practice, the user would usually prefer to open the link in their preferred email client in the VM they use for sending emails.

The solution you'd like

Provide an implementation of the Email portal that allows applications to request to send emails. The mail client is expected to prompt the user for confirmation before the email is actually sent. Attacks via malicious text are not a concern because email clients alread deal with untrusted data from the Internet. However, it is reasonable to check that the addresses are valid and to strip any attachments.

The value to a user and who that user might be

mailto: links will work in Qubes OS, rather than being broken.
