[cisco-voip] Jabber Click to Dial for Browsers

[Walenta, Philip]

While that functionality is nice, and possibly obvious to many of us on this list, that sort of feature is not that intuitive to most average users.   I agree that it should exist in Windows.

Additionally, it is not as easy as a simple click from a UI/UX perspective.  That capability is a non-starter on minimally 50% of the user base (probably less so with Mac users).
