How to specify a url for Iphone web clip?

Question

I can specify an icon for web clip.

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="images/apple-touch-icon.png">

It's Ok. So, I would like to specify my homepage url for the web clip when the visitors even add it to their home screen via sub pages. Currently, when I click the icon it opens the sub page that I don't want.

Is that possible? Thanks.

Unlike Android Chrome and its start_url manifest attribute, the Apple Touch icon has no such feature.

Sure it's hard to prove that something doesn't exist, but I never encountered anything like this in the iOS sphere.
