What I'm trying to do is this:
Is there a way to achieve this?
EDIT
From what I've found so far iOS does not implement a url scheme for launching browser based (ie. web apps) in standalone mode. ... But apple should though :) Apple implements parsing of urls to youtube.com and redirects them to the video app.
If they store the URL to the app placed on the home screen it would be a simple task to redirect links to that app.
A URL scheme allows you to launch a native iOS application from another iOS app or a web application. You can set options in the URL that will be passed to the launched application.
To resolve this issue, a new iOS utility known as “Opener” has been released. Opener is a third-party app that lets you open web links in their respective apps instead of Safari. You simply need to copy the link and paste it in Opener, and Opera opens the link in the appropriate app.

not from an SMS I don't think - but you could look at push notifications which can be sent from your server. I haven't used them yet, but the way I understand it you can send a notification from your server and link it to the app.
