This documentation article works for Windows Phone 8.1 / Windows Phone 10 Mobile:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779670.aspx

If you're running into issues not being able to open the URI scheme you registered it's most likely because you're trying to open it using Internet Explorer / Edge. This will not work.

Instead send yourself an email containing the link or put it down into OneNote - just an external place, that actually links into the browser.

Otherwise IE / Edge will treat your scheme as http://myscheme/ instead of myscheme://.

Hell... I got the answer. It's working if I call via javascript 

<input id="btnwindowsphone" type="button" class="button" name="" value="open windows phone"      onclick="javascript:loadwindowsphone();" /><br /><br />

function loadwindowsphone() {
                     window.location = 'alsdkcs://hd';
                 }

You can do the same for Windows phone - registering custom URI scheme that will open your app.

Here are some resources for you:
