I tested this in Gmail android, iOS, webmail and the link is stripped entirely. Apple Mail seems to leave the link but not sure whether it works. Outlook.com and Outlook apps strip the link. Yahoo webmail strips the link.

In the email world what they often use is a white list approach where everything that's not on the list will get removed. This means you're out of luck.

Can you go to a landing page first or otherwise via a browser which auto-redirects automatically?
