Menu list > custom URL with custom merge fields

Hi guys, I have an menu list with some instagram photo's from our city, then I want to open a Custom URL to show more info about that photo... So I want to sent the id of the photo to the custom url to load more information about that id photo... http://www.example.com/page.php?photoId=[id] So each menuItem has is own unique photoId and opens a Custom URL with the right data. Fred

Makes sense. a) Make a .txt or .php file to power the menu. Make this file in RSS format with the link element for each item pointing to the URL you want to open when the item is clicked. b) Create an RSS screen. For RSS URL, point it to your text file that is formatted in RSS with item, link, title, etc. Simple RSS layout is here: http://www.w3schools.com/rss/default.asp c) In each item, add an image element with the URL for the image. Use this image element as the image in the RSS list. You'll end up with a list of images (images will be on left) along with a title and description. Tapping the row will load your URL In a browser.

Can this be done to load another app screen instead of the web?
