When browsing a Discourse forum on iOS (Safari), I would love the share buttons for Twitter and Facebook not simply fire a HTTP(S) URL but instead somehow trigger the “native” built-in sharing to Facebook and Twitter.

I.e. it should launch the installed apps (if any) where I am already logged in.

Is such a thing possible?

It seems that [custom URL schemes are possible on iOS Safari](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22642223/what-is-mobile-safaris-custom-url-scheme).
