Please add support for placing calls directly from custom object records using phone-number properties, similar to how calling works on contact and company records. My team uses a custom object for physical restaurant locations/sites, and the operational record is often the main place we work from. For example, on a Location record like “Chibugan Lechon at Ethan’s Restaurant - Carson,” we can store the location phone number, but the top-left Call action does not actually support calling from the custom object record. This creates extra steps because users have to move to a related company or contact record just to place a call. Supporting calling from custom objects would make location-based workflows much more efficient for teams managing stores, branches, franchise locations, or implementation sites.
