This would actually be almost trivial. Adding actions to the right-click
menu is a simple enough task for a plugin, and buddies can have
arbitrary key/value pairs associated with them that will be stored with
the buddy list.

Not really a gaim developer, but I can answer that much at least. I'd be
happy to help work on a thin wrapper to your DBUS calls when you've got
some time. I've got some experience writing and packaging gaim plugins,
so it wouldn't be very difficult to get a working setup to at least
associate and act upon the URI you mentioned.
