Sorry in advance if this has been asked before but I cant seem to find the answer to this or dont know what to call what im looking for.

When you get an alert or a text message and if the text contains a phone number ex. 555-555-5555 or a website ex. http://bytes.com, it looks like a blueish hyperlink and if you click on it, depending on what it is, it'll either call it or launch the web brower.

Is there any way to create a custom action for my own application? For example, if the message contained foo:12345 and a person would click on it, it would launch my own application and pass that information along to it?

Thanks,
Mark

I believe those pop up messages are HTML based, so you should be able to use HTML to make little popups like that. I don't think you can change what HTML tags it parses since you would need the source code.

I implemented this same kind of functionality on a CE device and it was all HTML based (used the COM object for that).

Let me know more of what you are trying to do.
