Open Mobile Safari from a Link in a WebView

Question

Is there a URI scheme to open Mobile Safari to a specific URL?

e.g.,

Open Google in Safari

You can also use the webkit javascript bridge https://github.com/marcuswestin/WebViewJavascriptBridge

This allows you to send messages from javascript to xcode. I use this to close the webview from the html page:

self.bridge = [WebViewJavascriptBridge bridgeForWebView:self.webView handler:^(id data, WVJBResponseCallback responseCallback) {
            NSLog(@"Received message from javascript: %@", data);
            if ([data isEqual:@"closewin!"])
                [self dismissModal];
        }];

but you could also use this to jump to safari or anything you want
