How can one create and manage a phoneto: tag similar to the mailto: tag in emacs with skype?

Question

Under Emacs 23, mailto:foo@foobar.foo is nicely underlined and launches the writing of an email when pressing enter on it.

Given a system with Emacs and Skype installed, is it possible to configure tag such as phoneto:+5623689753 which is automatically hilighted and launches skype on this number when pressing enter on it?

By default, Emacs does not hyperlink mailto-expressions. What type of file are we talking about here? — Thomas, Mar 11 '12 at 02:39
mailto:foo@foobar.foo works in org-mode and serveral other modes? — J..y B..y, Apr 22 '12 at 14:36
