Can the address book be used to dial a telephone # via a modem?

Thunderbird's address book has columns for telephone numbers. Is there a feature or add-on that allows one to click on the telephone number and have it dial that number through a PC's modem? Wordperfect Office had that feature in its address book but it has been removed in versions that work with Windows 7. I feel lost without it.

TBDialOut only works with a URL controller phone network, not with a typical land-line modem. The author admits to never owning a modem.
