Allow phone numbers sent in Vina messaging to call in another app

When using the Vina app when trying to call a phone number that has been texted by another user, Vina will try and call that number using the Vina app. Calling is disabled in the app and another app is what is used to make calls on these devices. Can we get a setting that will allow these phone numbers to be called using a different app when clicked on in the text message?

    Currently Vina will identify the number as a 'link' but does not allow the user to click or long press to initiatie a call from the link. Adding this as a potential future enhancement to Vina as well as future app. Further exploration will be planned in the future.
