I don't think you can add attachments directly within the mailto link. Even if you were to create a link like that, Outlook won't allow you to do this as it is a security issue.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers!

You cannot pass HTML data as mailto link. It doesn't work that way. You can only send plain/text data in mailto link.

Instead of using MAILTO, you can user a link to trigger a flow and send the email with the necessary table instead. You can pass parameters with the link using relative path.
