Invoking installed mobile facebook app(Any platform android, iphone, bb e.t.c) from html or javascript code/page running on same device?

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to invoke installed Facebook and twitter mobile app on any platform either Android, i-phone, BB etc thru some html/java script /jquery code.

for eg

<a href="mailto:xxx@abc.com?subject=Hello World">Open Email</a>

Hope i'm clear to you all.

Any code-snippet would highly be appreciated.

Well, in android is posible:

When we click on a link the browser sends an intent to the OS.
