I'd like to create an application link in HTML to a Skype profile. I've found that you can do the following:
<a href="skype:profile_name">Link to my profile</a> But this seems to trigger a Skype call to that profile. I'd just want the option to browse the profile or add them as a contact, how can I do this?

Share profile. In the Share and connect window you can: Copy to clipboard - Copy your join link to your desktop clipboard. Email - Send your share link in an email from your desktop. Revoke the share link - Revoke the link to your profile and create a new one.
Here, make sure that you're logged in with your primary Skype account and then click on the “Create A Free Meeting” button. The Skype website will instantly create a unique link (which uses randomized numbers and characters, and is more secure that Zoom's public links).
In addition to Dave and Margarida's suggestion, you may also utilize the Share Profile option which can be found on your Skype Profile. A link will be generated that you can include within your email signature. Opening the link would direct them to open up Skype for Web and join you with a new conversation.
This doesn't seem to be very well documented, but there are ways to specify an action for a Skype profile link. This is the syntax
skype:profile_name?action Examples of such actions are
call to callchat to chatvoicemail to leave a voice mailsendfile to send a fileadd to add to contactsuserinfo to view profileIn this case then, the link to view the profile would look like this
<a href="skype:profile_name?userinfo">Link to my profile</a> See also the Skype URIs page on MSDN.
