mailto: link equivalent for phone calls? [duplicate]

Tags:

html

Is there any way using html and/or JS to link an image so that it makes a phone call. Similar to the mailto: links. This would just make life a lot easier if this was possible. Say if a person had skype, could a button then open skype for them and call a number?

Thanks in advance

Their UI experimentation ended up using a mailto: link, but putting the entire email address as the link which makes it especially obvious what the link does, while also offering a Copy button for a little UX bonus. tel: links are weirder in the sense that a good many devices looking at them don’t have any phone-calling functionality.
