Quick update for anyone else who’s interested: we now have the latest Discourse update and can confirm this is working, _but_ only if the phone number is prefixed with `tel://` (rather than just `tel:` which is the standard). I can confirm the links still work and are diallable!

Can’t be done with Markdown but works fine if the full HTML link is inserted.

Great stuff.
