title: Custom URL Scheme for Windows 8
body: <p>Is there something similar for the Windows 8 platform to the custom url scheme found on the iOS platform?</p>
  
  <p>I have found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914%28v=VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">information</a> on MSDN about an application URI scheme. This is not the answer.</p>
  
  <p>In my iPad app, the user receives an email with a couple of long keys. The user clicks the url and my app opens to the right page with these values populated. Is there similar functionality available for Windows 8 that I have missed?</p>
