In many apps this is done via tel:  or   telto:  but I am hell bent on creating a TiddlyWiki that replaces my contact management across all devices.  Free from prying Google eyes.  (or worse.)

This would really be of great utility.

Brian,

Its a simple matter of crafting an appropriate link using html

<a href="tel:+18475555555">1-847-555-5555</a>

or

<a href={{!!phone-number}} >Call <<curentTiddler>></a>or

In your wiki on a device that knows how to phone should work. I just tested in on tiddlywiki.com (Laptop cant dial)
and on Tiddloid it works
Regards
Tony

Ciao Tony

It is worth underlining "tel:" is now a protocol widely recognised (Chrome, Chromium, FF) ---that it can work on Desktop too IF you have an app setup for handling calls ...
