I think maybe close it as it's too old? Also as an additional note, as I refactored link parsing, make small changes to its code for accepting tel: links.

Yes if you think it's worthless now close it

I think this is still needed to get to a point where message-parser can also be used on mobile. just supporting tel: is not enough for that.

the future is hard to predict, so better optimise for the present :)

so, it seems fine concentrate on things needed by desktop today, this is obviously hard enough.

if we then decide at some point, as everything else fine, to use message-parser on mobile, it seems easy to add phone number support then

Maybe but I would still vote to have tel: links. People could use it on Desktop to dial it on their phone using something like KDE Connect.

If we have plans for using MP on mobile, I think it's a good idea to finish this and use it. Create a roadmap/project and include this there. If not, I'm in favor of closing it.

today, there are no concrete plans to use MP on mobile.

priorities today are multi-transport, calls, channels, stability (just from mind, we do not have nor want a roadmap with times, things manifest in working code, not promises :)

they are already linkified by the message parser. we could add them to the allow list in desktop, so that they open directly, but that would be a desktop issue and is off topic for this pr.

BTW, As a note, parsing numbers on Desktop is useful if your Desktop has got a phone(VoIP or modem) or if you are using something like KDE Connect to link your PC and phone. I know it's some rare and esoteric application, but I think it's worth it to have it at least as experimental.
