This still appears to be an issue in Pro 3.5.14

Just giving this a bump as I had to switch a field from a URL field to a Plain Text field today so that users could use mailto: links.

Giving this a bump as well; I find I frequently need to use Plain Text fields instead of url fields because of this issue.

This is resolved for the next 3.6 release ✨

URL fields now have an “Allowed URL Types” setting, with “Web page”, “Telephone”, and “Email” options:

When 2+ options are checked, a dropdown will be displayed to the left of the URL input, which lists the options you’ve selected.

Phone numbers will get a tel: prefix added; emails will get a mailto: prefix. But those will be hidden from the actual UI.

Craft 3.6 has now been officially released ✨

Awesome! Any chance we could also get this ability when the URL field is within a Table field? Thanks
