Yes, there is a function (data) that returns the concatenated data content of an element as a string. You just need
to specify this as the value of the attribute in the (make element ...) rule. For the code you provide below I
would substitute:

(element MY_TAG
...
    (make element
        gi:    "td"
        (make element
            gi: "a"
            attributes: (list (list "href" (string-append "mailto:"; (data))))
            (process-children)))
)
