how How can I set yate to be my default tel: protocol handler?

On http://www.frigidaire.com/kitchen-appliances/ranges/this site I clicked on the support link and a phone number popped up. It was formatted via the tel:tel: protocol, and as such was underlined and highlighted like a web link. On my phone, clicking on such a link opens my default dialer and places the call.

When links are not formatted via this protocol, my browser's Google voice plugin usually auto-detects the phone number and gives me a chance to call via Google voice. It would be nice if I could also do this for tel:tel: formatted numbers, or better yet, as I don't always have a voice session open, set tel: formatted numbers be handled by yate.
