This would require a protocol or framework external to the GeoJSON format. GeoJSON specifies that Features should have an "id" property and that it should uniquely identify the feature within its collection. There's no requirement or implication that the id identifies the thing described by the Feature. GeoJSON's "id" is no more than Atom's Entry "id" (RFC 4287 has had a major influence on GeoJSON). Semantics such as what it would mean to use, eg, "tel:867-5309" as a feature id are not defined by GeoJSON.
