 From an offlist reply:

Well, in theory it would be this:
   Defaults write NSGlobalDomain SkyDirectActionDialer_Link   '"tel: 
$number$"'
   Defaults write NSGlobalDomain SkyDirectActionDialer_Target '""'

But I just noticed that it doesn't work because ':' is URL  
escaped ... Anyways, I fixed that in trunk (r1878). You can now do:

   Defaults write NSGlobalDomain SkyDirectActionDialer_Link '"tel: 
$numberEscaped$"'

And escaping is off per default.

If you don't want to install trunk for the demo, a workaround would  
be a small CGI script which you specify as the link and which then  
does a simple redirect to the tel: URL.
