On this site I clicked on the support link and a phone number popped up. It was formatted via the
tel:
protocol, and as such was underlined and highlighted like a web link. On my phone, clicking on such a link opens my default dialer and places the call.
When links are not formatted via this protocol, my browser's Google voice plugin usually auto-detects the phone number and gives me a chance to call via Google voice. It would be nice if I could also do this for tel:
formatted numbers, or better yet, as I don't always have a voice session open, set tel:
formatted numbers be handled by yate
.
**How can I fix my browser's handling of the tel:
protocol links such that it opens in yate
or google voice?**
- In Chromium I get a warning saying that xdg-open will be used to handle the link, but when I click 'Launch Application' nothing happens.
- In Firefox, clicking on the link leads me to a blank page with the url tel:18003744432
- In Konqueror clicking on the link produces this error:
Access by untrusted page to tel:18003744432 denied.
I'm using Linux Mint 16 KDE x64.
