Thanks Ken, the problem with this solution is that these pages are for viewing on mobile phones, most of which do not have JavaScript capability.
What I had in mind was akin to what I do on regular website when I want a link to generate a file that is saved to disk (an excel report app, for instance). In this case, I set the Content-Disposition: to file or whatever by calling method in the response object. There must be something similar that can make the browser behave like it has just clicked a regular TEL:NNNNNNNNNN link.
