Thanks for this helpful hint. :)
I modified it a little to get the complete table Cn-Dn:

C1=HYPERLINK("tel:"&A1;A1)
D1=HYPERLINK("tel:"&A1;B1)

In a browser one could see the target of link inside the statusbar.

Is there any way to view the target of a link inside openoffice while
hovering a link?

I installed the software VoIPdial
http://www.martin-dehler.de/voip/voipdial/voipdial.htm (German
language) to make any browser (FF or IE) be able to interpret links
like
<a href="tel:08001507090">Foo Bar</a>
on a web page correctly:
It will dial the number and I could take up my telephone.

That's extremly comfortable.

Background information:

In the Windows registry VoIPdial enters a key 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tel\shell\open\command

C:\Programme\VoIPdial\VoIPdial_Dialer.exe "%1"

Openoffice should only, that is my wish, behave like FF or IE. 
I like to know, if that is possible with OOo.

"tel:" is an official URI-handler:
