So, if I had some text, say : "Hi Tom, Please call
Cheryl at 444-555-6767 and she can get you that
info..." I want to be able to "know" that 444-555-6767
is a phone number and should be marked as such.
Apple has this in Mail. No idea whether there's a public API, but in
ye olde days this technology was called "Apple Data Detectors",
maybe that'll help you google something up? Otherwise, see what
Apple calls it in the Mail.app docs, maybe that term will bring up a
related API.
It's now simply called Data Detectors. There's no public API, but
there is a Private Framework which defines it. The matching patterns
are all defined in data files contained in the framework.
Unfortunately, the list of actions for each data type is defined
within the framework...
