Microsoft Lync - Open IM Window With Message From Webpage

Question

Is it possible to open an IM window on Microsoft Lync from a webpage with a defined message? Something like:

<a href="im:?body=My Message">Lync</a>

The email equivalent would be:

<a href="mailto:?body=My Message">E-Mail</a>

You can bring up the IM window, but you can't pre-define the message.

You bring up the IM with

<a href="im:<sip:someone@domain.com>">Go</a>

This is cool, +1 for learning something new today! PS, also still works for the "Skype for Business" upgrade from Lync :) – Chris W. Jul 18 '16 at 21:56
Damn! I need a pre-populated message. – Martin Erlic Apr 27 '17 at 13:52
