Windows Phone 8 - Launch an app from within an app

is it possible to launch an app from within an application?

In my case it would be launching default calendar application.

Thank you,

Jakub

It is possible to launch an app from another app, using file and URI associations:

However, there is not any URI scheme to launch the calendar app in the list of the available URI schemes for built-in apps:

So, unless there exists any hidden URI scheme for that purpose, I think the only available workaround is to use the SaveAppointmentTask:
