Launch a website as a mobile app using PhoneGap and have access to phonegap plugins

I created an app with 

window.location = 'http://www.google.de';

described by this tutorial: http://antonylees.blogspot.de/2013/02/launch-website-as-mobile-app-using.html

Is there a possibility to use 

onclick="window.open('https://www.google.de', '_system');"

with cordova Plugin

 ́<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" />

I read in the tutorial above it should be possible to access the phonegap plugins with 

<access origin="http://your.website" subdomains="true"/>

But this doesn't work. Unfortunately it only opens inside of webview. But I want to open it outside of the webview in the browser.

Has anyone an idea?

Best regards

You can't because the point of PhoneGap and what makes it useful is the ability to be a native phone application. You can't run native phone applications on a web server. You can take the source and build off of that but, you can't just use the app on your website.

No, if you open it on a browser, then it isn't a phonegap app, it's a browser, and the browser doesn't have access to the phonegap API

And even in a phonegap app, you can't use the phonegap API if you are loading an external URL
