Call Using Whatsapp url scheme on iOS

We can open conversation/chat window for WhatsApp by using URL Scheme:

        if schemeAvailable("whatsapp://")
    {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "whatsapp://send?abid=68")!)//68 is the example, addressbook contact id
    }
    else
    {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997")!)
    }

I want url scheme to start call? I not found any documentation or reference for it either on WhatsApp official page or on any blog. Can we do this or its not possible?

Currently Whatsapp doesn't have URL Scheme for Call feature.

But it does have custom URL scheme to chat with a specific contact.
