callto: working in Teams

I'd like to embed in Teams a callto: link that users with urgent problems can use to get through to support staff straight away.

I've tried adaptive cards. It works for urls like www.google.com but not for callto: links, at least I can't get it to work.

I've tried html like href="callto:callto:******@myemail.xyz", but again I've not been able to get it to work.

Any ideas?

PS, here's the kind of thing I tried in adaptive cards in more detail.

{ "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "[http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json]", "version": "1.4", "body": [ { "type": "ActionSet", "actions": [ { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "Action.OpenUrl", "url": "callto:******@myemail.xyz" } ] } ] }

PPS, the link will be regulated by Power Automate. For example, it might regularly update the callto: link based on which support staff are available.
