Allow custom URL schemes or intents in Quick WWW bookmarks
Completed
I'm trying to launch another app by invoking its custom URL scheme fulcrumapp://new-record and passing some additional parameters (lat, lng). I was hoping I could use a Quick WWW bookmark for this, but it only seems to accept http:// URLs. I've also tried the "Add link to app" button in the set functions panel dialog, but that doesn't give me the opportunity to define additional parameters like the WWW bookmark settings. Does this make sense and do you have any ideas how this might be accomplished? Thanks!

I like this idea 
Hello Bryan,
nice idea. This is currently not possible. Anyway if you give me link on app that I may use for testing and also exact Uri you expect to work, I may check what I may do with it.

Thanks Menion! The app is a mobile field data collection app called Fulcrum (I work on the Fulcrum Team). You can sign up for a free trial account by going to https://web.fulcrumapp.com/users/sign_up and you can download the free Android app here. Here are some examples of how it works: http://developer.fulcrumapp.com/general/url-actions/#examples.
This would allow users in Locus to quickly create a new record at a specific location in Fulcrum by launching the app with something like this:
fulcrumapp://new-record?form_id=c55adab9-916d-46e9-98aa-7a2388a77b24&latitude=28.038046&longitude=-81.952514
We really love Locus Map and blogged about it a while back! This integration will give us even more reason to recommend Locus to our users. Thanks again!

Hello Bryan,
thanks for extra information. I added support for custom protocols, like in this example for "fulcrumapp://", so in next version it should work. I've not yet enabled free trial as it was not absolutely needed. In case, it won't work with next version of Locus, let me know and I'll try it more precisely.
And nice blog post! I've forwarded it to Michal, who will promote it somewhere (maybe) as he's an head of our single-person marketing department :)

How about mapitem:// as well? :-)
