Is there any way to create a desktop shortcut to a specific SMS conversation.
There's one person I interact a lot with by SMS, and if possible I would like to create a shortcut to that "conversation" directly.
Can it be done?

A specific conversation is with a specific indinvidual. Have a shortcut to that individual on the desktop, tap them, then tap SMS with the number on which you have been conversing with them. Lo and behold, you are taken to that conversation. Straight out of the box, simples.

To open the conversation app for this contact you can use the
D-Bus interface com.nokia.Account.Interface.ChannelRequests.Ensure Channel

A small python script:

Code:

python -c 'import dbus; print dbus.Bus().call_blocking("org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager","/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/ring", "com.nokia.Account.Interface.ChannelRequests","EnsureChannel","a{sv}ts", ({"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetHandleType":dbus.UInt32(1),"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetID":"000000000","org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.ChannelType":"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.Text"},0,""))'

Replace the "000000000" with the phone number of your contact.

~~It looks like there are some extraneous spaces in that code sample. Could it be because it's not wrapped in [CODE] tags?~~ This has been fixed.

@oKtosiTe
Yes, I edit my previous post and wrapped the command in CODE tags

@cutehunk04
You can call this command from a script, or you can convert this
to a desktop shortcut.
