Invoke modal view controller from UIWebView weblink

Question

Hey folks I was wondering if anyone can tip me on a painless way of invoking a modal view controller from a web link in a UIWebView. Is it possible to do this?

I want the modal view controller to still be a part of the app as opposed to closing the main app and using a helper application instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using vanilla webpages that can be accessed from safari mobile, it is not possible. If you're programming a local webapp with phonegap or similar technologies, it is fairly easy, just catch the urls you want and handle them differently.
