Microsoft Edge: Auto-open Copilot side pane for Outlook links

When users open links from Outlook, Microsoft Edge can automatically open the Copilot side pane to provide contextual insights and actionable suggestion chips based on email and destination content - such as highlighting key points, and recommending next actions - without disrupting the browsing flow. This experience helps users quickly understand content, take action with fewer steps, and get more value from Copilot while extending productive browsing time in Edge. Admins can control availability to this feature using the M365LinksAutoOpenCopilotEnabled policy.
