Agreed! In my view ,The best solution, not just Linphone, would be an
address book & bookmark manager software that will manage URIs such as
magnet: mailto: sip: xmpp: ftp:// http:// rsync:// smb:// ssh:// etc.

Instead of being relied on the whims of a freaking heavy XUL based web
browser or on any other software that uses a non-standard manner to
manage lists of URI. A universal URI manager.

I have read this argument at
http://blogs.gnome.org/otte/2009/07/09/neat-hacks/#comment-1198

I disagree with "June", though, history should be managed by web
browsers and bookmarks by an external URI manager as s/he depicted.
