On android app, possible to insert a phone number so that it is clickable to allow the caller to call and speed dial the number?
Wow this is old. But I happened accorss the answer so:
You need to make an HTML link with the format
<a href="tel:+15551234567">Call me</a>
You change the number obviously to what you want and the ‘Call Me’ bit to the text displayed.
This is an ideal place for a macro to sort out the formatting for you so you can just type something like Call::+1551234567 and it’s converted but I’m not savvy enough to do that off the top of my head.
It might also be where HICCUP comes in but I have no idea how that works 
You can use markdown links with the same tel: formatting. You don’t need html.
I tried that but couldn’t get it to work.
What formatting did you use exactly? Did you use the /link command?
The link command should work, just make sure the format is []() notation, and make sure the part between the parentheses starts with tel:. Theoretically anything written this way should present as a link. I’ve since changed all my files to org, but I tried it in org format and it works fine.
[call me](tel:+15551234567) presents as a link but it doesn’t make a callable number, in MacOS at least. It just makes a new page of the number.
Yeah I got the same when I tried it. That’s why I suggested the html. I thought it might be something that you have to go full html for rather than MD

Interesting. I’m on Android and clicking it brings up an option to open it in the phone app. I have no idea why iOS would behave any different regarding link notation. It’s rendered the same whether it’s html or markdown. At the end of the day, it’s just a hyperlink beginning with tel:. The behavior should be the same.
