You can currently do this by overriding the relevant UI op. Really,
though, you should write a patch to libpurple that adds the ability for
plugins to register URI schemes. Then, libpurple would check those
before passing the URL to the UI. If it matched, the plugin would get
the first crack at handling the URI. It could return a boolean to tell
libpurple whether or not to continue passing it to the UI.

If you need any help with the concepts, feel free to ask.
