For accessing apps through url's you have to register your app for the specific URL like this:

public void RegisterURLProtocol(string protocolName, string applicationPath, string description)
{
    // Create new Key for URL Protocol
    RegistryKey myKey=Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(protocolName);

    // Assign Protocol
    myKey.SetValue(null, description);
    myKey.SetValue("URL Protocol", string.Empty);

    // Assign Shell Values
    Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(protocolName + "\\Shell");
    Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(protocolName + "\\Shell\\open");
    myKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(protocolName + "\\Shell\\open\\command");

    // Determine App who's receiving the URL calls with params
    myKey.SetValue(null, "\"" + applicationPath,  + "\" %1");
}

Have a nice day
