LaunchUriAsync(Uri)

Starts the default app associated with the URI scheme name for the specified URI. You can allow the user to specify, in this case.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/Hh701476

    // Create the URI to launch from a string.
    var uri = new Uri(uriToLaunch);

    // Calulcate the position for the Open With dialog.
    // An alternative to using the point is to set the rect of the UI element that triggered the launch.
    Point openWithPosition = GetOpenWithPosition(LaunchUriOpenWithButton);

    // Next, configure the Open With dialog.
    // Here is where you choose the program.
    var options = new Windows.System.LauncherOptions();
    options.DisplayApplicationPicker = true;
    options.UI.InvocationPoint = openWithPosition;
    options.UI.PreferredPlacement = Windows.UI.Popups.Placement.Below;

    // Launch the URI.
    bool success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri, options);
    if (success)
    {
       // URI launched: uri.AbsoluteUri
    }
    else
    {
        // URI launch failed.  uri.AbsoluteUri

    }
