It should be hidden as much as possible. Perhaps having a very simple 
keyboard shortcut to make a text entry window appear would be possible? 
I mean, if someone is going to enter a phone number, (s)he has to use 
the keyboard already...

Uh... unfortunately, for a jabber contact you don't have the url. When 
you want to make a call, you ask to the contact ('s client), then send 
_your_ url to get called. The idea is that in jabber, people are not 
supposed to have information about everyone, so if _you_ need p2p 
information _you_ disclose information about yourself.

That has two advantages:
* it is a security feature ;
* the url is always up-to-date.
