How to open native iOS app (calendar, notes...) from a link on website?

Tags:

Is it possible to open native iOS app, e.g. calendar or notes, from an HTML link which is in website? I tried to find an example but I couldn't. I ran into these URL schemes but I don't know how to use them and what's the URL scheme for calendar or notes. Is it possible just to do something like this:

<a href="calendar://something here?">Click me!</a> 

Is it possible to do it only with HTML or is JavaScript needed?

How do I import a URL into my iPhone calendar?

On your iPhone tap the Settings icon, then scroll down and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select the Add Subscribed Calendar option, fill in the Google Calendar URL in the Server box and click Next. Change any settings you see fit before saving the calendar. You do not need a username or password.

Calendar and Notes do not have URL schemes. Apple provides a reference for those of their apps that do use URL schemes here:
