Bug Description

Hi! I have a wishlist request:

The Chrome google voice plugin has an awesome feature that makes a link of every phone number on the web pages, then when you click on it it calls your phone and google voice is already connecting you to that number.

I was wondering if this could be done on the desktop, so that when someone IMs, mails, or IRCs me the phone number is linked and I can just call them right from my desktop.

I use that chrome plugin myself, and it is very useful! I'm not sure how we would implement this via a indicator applet though. It would probably have to be done down at the GTK level, and would require scanning all text for phone-number-like strings, which can get pretty hairy once you consider the variety of ways phone numbers are represented around the world.
