  1. First to open an external url in the users default browser (Install the InAppBrowser plugin) use the window.open('http://www.yoururl.com', '_system');

  2. To open your app from any browser install the Custom URL scheme Plugin launch your app by a link like this: <a href="mycoolapp://">Open App</a>

In config.xml of plugin change the value <param name="URL_SCHEME" value="mycoolapp" /> to <param name="URL_SCHEME" value="YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUE" />
