Override email click in lead from extension

[tzn1]

I would like to create a simple extension where I override what happens when a user clicks on the email field.

How to structure the extension to achieve this? It seems nothing is working even if I put the changes into:

\files\client\modules\my-extension\src\views\fields\email.js

And changed the data action to something else:

'click [data-action="mailTo"]': function (e) {
//something else
},

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

did you set this view in the field metadata?

Thank you, one more question.

Currently I override the whole address.js file and added only a small portion, the above mentioned click event so I override everything but I don't want that.
I want to add only that small above mentioned click event so if the system is upgraded I wont have to upgrade my extension.

The same is true for the address.json file. I had to put everything there from the original file. Is it possible to override only the view which is pointing to my custom js file that contains only the click event?

And also one more ask, could you please check my other question?
