I think in that case it might be best to have a function in org-contacts
that "knows" that PHONE contains phone numbers, and that can parse them
out, and shoot them off to org-phone.
Vague thought: Make C-c C-c aware of PHONE properties so that it can
perform this magic.
Again, I am not an org-contacts user, so this may be a stupid question,
but how does org-contacts "know" when it has a contact? I am looking at
the sample record you present above, and it looks just like an org-mode
header to me. There is no marker, as far as I can tell, that would tell
org-mode that it is a contact record, instead of some other arbitrary
thing. This seems odd to me. Why isn't it something like
#+BEGIN_SRC org
* CONTACT Strey, Michael
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: mstrey@strey.biz foo@bar.com
:PHONE: +493514129535 +491263213
:END:
#+END_SRC
by analogy to the way TODO flags a task?
At any rate, any function that could parse a :PHONE: property could
easily (funcall org-phone-function <phone-number>).
Cheers,
