You don't need to write any code for that. It's system configuration dependant. Let's say, if I configure Outlook as my default email client on my system, it will automatically open outlook when I click an email id.

You don't have control on it. Every individual has his own preference and rightly so. If someone does not has an Outlook installed, instead some other email client is there then that would be launched.

Always write your code inside code block.
