How do I pin certain contacts to the taskbar?

Question

I am using Lync 2013. There are certain contacts (or groups of contacts) that I talk to all the time. How can I pin those to the taskbar, so that I can just click on the icon and type?

If it's possible in Lync 2010, I would totally downgrade for this feature.

There are certain protocols such as sip, im, tel, callto (see full list here) that should be registered to Lync by default. You can create normal Windows shortcuts using these to launch IM conversations, calls and so on, and of course pin the shortcuts to the Start Menu or Taskbar as required:
