Can you open safari in an iphone app and navigate between local html files?

Imagine a website consisting of many html files with hyperlinks between them. In addition, the html contains jquery and images.

I need an app that installs all these files as a bundle in a users iphone. When the app starts, it checks the users credentials, launches Safari and then the user navigates between pages via hyperlinks as they would through a website.

I have heard it is possible to launch Safari from an app. But can it be directed to a local html file and then can the user navigate between locally installed files via hyperlinks?

I have a feeling it is not possible to navigate between locally installed files but am not sure.

UIWebView allows the developer to target local files. You may need to convert the anchor tags to target the appropriate path and protocol.
