Thunderbird opens mid: links in new message display tab or window.
Yes. If `browse-url' knows how to open Thunderbird (mine didn't).
On windows I expect fallback to `browse-url-default-windows-browser` by
default. Are you able to open mid: links from e.g. cmd.exe?
open "mid:63dd2b57.050a0220.ed66f.0...@mx.google.com"
Looking into https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1696218
"Thunderbird displays the dialog for default application after each startup"
and the patch, I expect that thunderbird on windows can register
protocol handler for the "mid" scheme.
Unsure however if the following entries in advanced preferences are
relevant:
network.protocol-handler.expose.mid true
network.protocol-handler.external.mid false
I have never debugged protocol handlers on windows. I would compare
"mailto" and "mid" entries in the registry

How do you think we should proceed to update the wiki ?
I am trying to determine if it is difficult to get mid scheme working
system-wide and emacs-wide on windows. If not, I would just add your
example "[[mid:$msgid$][$author_name$: $subject$ ($date_iso$)]]" to the
remark related to copying Message-ID in the existing text and corrected
a bit a note on obsolete thunderlink. If thunderbird still has issues
with registering global mid: handler then your snippet with
`start-process' should be added.
Maybe I just have gone too far trying to add "right" recommendation.
