Chat esclates to Voice

[fcassity]

Is there a way for a chat to be escalated to a voice call?
If an agent is chatting with someone they want to have the ability to call the customer and talk to them without the customer calling into a voice queue.

Chat and call a customer

If the Agent has the call number (e.g. via Chat) the Agent can call the customer.
The Agent can copy the call number and change to module Telephony and enter the number.
