Description
Phone numbers are presented as an anchor with tel: scheme.
Different browsers implements tel: differently, and sometimes none of them are useful.
In some context, like with a SIP PBX, is useful to make a call via a web url.
Now I simply edit the js file changing how the url is made, i.e.: tel:01234567 -> https://pbxserver/call?num=01234567
If the phone number anchor href could be made configurable could be a nice addition.

Research direction
Start by locating the JavaScript that builds phone-number anchor hrefs and trace how those links are generated. Define where the URL pattern can be configured, preserve the current tel: behavior by default, and consider the work complete when a custom web URL can be used without editing the JavaScript.
