Mail Icon beside the Name of Person?

I see this in a video. We can see a small Mail icon beside the Name of the person (I guess this is a Person and Group Column), And we can click on this icon to open the Mailing App to send the email to this people.

How can we do that?

And which column types we can use to? Can we use a Single line of Text contain a Customer email (maybe Gmail, ....., not Office 365 email?

    ca_rem Here is the original page - it has the column formatting example of the mail icon.

    You could use it with a single text column that has a generic email in it - instead of @currentField.email in the mailto section, just use @currentfield
