[ADD] mail: quick-open related record from activity

Current behavior before PR: You have to find the right menu/view and then take over the ID stored on the activity (through export) to find back the record. This is annoying, painful and error prone. Desired behavior after PR is merged: By adding a smartbutton the user can quick-navigate to the related record in a second. This allows for quickly finding and opening records which is usually handy when debugging things or finding back related records.
