A hyperlink may exist within a number of environments but the answer is essentially no - a hyperlink is designed to respond to mouse actions on a specific link (what if the there are multiple links - do you open them all?). If you would like to enlarge on what you are trying to achieve and in what environment/context we may be able to suggest other solutions.

Can I also add that any script will need to be very high on the list to run on a windows server without being blocked.

It would be able to send a reply back whenever you get an email--- there are different ways to make this work but I assume the emails all come from the same place--- a simple enough solution for most email servers.
