...lmao maybe not...
The failure point in this theory is that the native dial pad needs to know about the incoming text from the plugin (that have been converted from numbers). Because the dial pad currently lacks the ability to know about this kind of information, and it's a closed source software, it cannot be altered to know about the converted numbers. Therefor the only solution I see here is to override the current dial pad with a different app, but even that would not be a natural replacement of the dial pad.
