从移动浏览器启动SIP客户端

Question

Is there a way to get an href with a sip address to open in a Mobile browser on either iOS or Android like it does on a desktop browser?

I'm using Lync 2010 as my sip client and it won't launch when I click that link in my mobile browser on either phone. I see it make the attempt but Lync doesn't come up like on my desktop. Both have the client installed and even open in the background.

Here's an example:

<a href="sip:lou@lou.com">Lou</a>

I would have thought this would have to be implemented in the OS and the application would then register as able to open links of that type. I don't think any change to settings or to the app would enable this. Unfortunately, I don't see any mobile OS vendors implementing this anytime soon - there just isn't enough traction.
