You can also add it to /usr/share/applications/linphone.desktop or copy
it to ~/.local/share/applications/linphone.desktop and add it there.

A. You need to enter a SIP address to call to, not yours.
B. Dot tld = top level domain (e.g. .com .es etc.).
C. Do not include $ which I wrote to indicate on using terminal.
I have attached a desktop file for you to test.
1) Extract attached file to ~/.local/share/applications/
2) Run command:
$ xdg-mime default linphone.desktop x-scheme-handler/sip
3) Confirm that Linphone is a default program for SIP by running:
$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/sip
linphone.desktop
4) Test it with:
$ xdg-open sip:address@hidden

I suggest to import most of your contacts that are not being used often
into an external contact management program that would display contacts
in click-able hyperlinks and then use the solution I have proposed.

I like Ekiga, too, and I use it many times against Linphone to search
for bugs in both software, yet Linphone is my main SIP program.
