A coworker was able to see the Chat with self channel in the web version of teams, so is you use the group chat 48:notes in Power Automate you can post to chat with self.

My flow:
1) When an Email is Flagged trigger
2) Convert Time zone of Received time
3) Compose Link to Original Email:
- concat('<a href="https://webmail.apps.mil/owa/?ItemID=',triggerOutputs()?['body/id'],'&exvsurl=1&viewmodel=ReadMessageItem">Message</a>')
4) Create Teams Post
- Post as user
- Post in Group chat
- Group Chat 48:notes
- Message
-- Subject
-- Date
-- Link to Email
