That's my whole point about browse-url-browser-function.
>From the docstring:

   If the value is not a function it should be a list of pairs
   (REGEXP . FUNCTION).  In this case the function called will be
   the one associated with the first REGEXP which matches the
   current URL.  The function is passed the URL and any other args
   of ‘browse-url’.  The last regexp should probably be "." to
   specify a default browser.

This can give you very fine control:

  - use w3m with the URLs it can display well.
  - send other URLs to firefox
  - use tel: with browse-url-xdg-open

  - you name it!
