Click link to send a text message in Google Sheets

We are making extensive use of Google Sheets'HYPERLINK formula combined with mailto links to create links in cells that will dynamically generate emails. For example:

=HYPERLINK("mailto:test@test.com" &"?cc=support@test.com" &"&subject=Test email" &"&body=This is a test email.","Send email")

That will create linked text that, when clicked, will create an email in your default email client. Naturally we can easily make that dynamic by replacing the hard-coded values with cell references:

=HYPERLINK("mailto:" & $C2 &"?cc=" & $D2 &"&subject=" & $E2 &"&body=" & $F2,"Send email")

We were hoping to do the same thing with sms links, but none of the following result in a clickable link:

=HYPERLINK("sms:", "Send SMS")=HYPERLINK("sms:19875550198", "Send SMS")=HYPERLINK("sms:+19875550198", "Send SMS")=HYPERLINK("sms://19875550198", "Send SMS")=HYPERLINK("sms://+19875550198", "Send SMS")

So it seems that the HYPERLINK formula doesn't recognize sms links the way it recognizes mailto links.

Is there a way to do this in Google Sheets?
