Open Windows Phone 7 App from URL

I need to launch my WP7 application from the phone's browser and pass some arguments. For example, the following url would be a link on an html page. Clicking the link would start my application. iPhone and Android both have these capabilites by the name of 'url schemes'.

appName://my.arguments.here

How can I accomplish this on WP7?

Thanks!

Unfortunately there is currently no support for "url schemes" or custom URL handlers that will allow you to handle these requests from within your application.
