You can assign a youtube link to text in Apple Mail (right-click on the selected text, Link : Add Link) or you can attach a reasonably sized video to the email message. Apple's markup utility does not support link annotation on an attachment image. The user presentation side of the compose message is not HTML, so you won't find any HTML editing feature.

It depends on how big the video file is. Apple Mail can send attachments up to 20 MB in size. Over that, at least with Apple's iCloud Mail, one can use the Mail Drop feature to sent up to 5 GB file sizes.
