Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Currently, every number with 2 or more digits is shown as a phone link, so i can call it by tapping on it. Not sure if this is fixable, 23 is probably never a phone number, but there are indeed very short phone numbers like 911.

#### Why would you like to do it?
it is a bit irritating, that most simple numbers are a link

#### How would you like to achieve it?
i would search for a regex that detects phone numbers

### Have you considered any alternatives?

_No response_

### Additional context

### Are you willing to provide a PR?
