We do this with our web based CRM.
I push a registry entry to all our PCs that associates callto links (skype) to UCA via group policy.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\callto\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mitel\\Unified Communicator Advanced 4.1\\ucadialer.exe\" \"%1\""
From there, you can alter the webapp to format phone number links to look like "callto:+18005555555" (we do this in our CRM)
or
i also use a google chrome extension that uses a regex to change all phone numbers in webpages to callto links.

This works great for us. I know its not exactly what you asked for, but should have the same results. Hope it helps.
