The Open URL API enables the Hybrid Container to open specific URLs on a device and react to them. It is possible to invoke URLs directly from one app to trigger another app to automatically launch in the foreground. By calling the API's methods, you can pass authentication information and metadata between apps. Metadata can be used to perform a desired action in the target app. A URL address can also be presented on a web page, delivered in an e-mail, or in an instant message.
To access the OpenURL object, use the window.launchbox.Container.OpenURL
reference.
