The URL schemes for http:// and <

Answer 1

I keep forgetting to open my Science News E-Zine and there's no other 'reminder'... so:

In CALENDAR I created a monthly-repeating event called: ScienceNewsOpen and it's ‘Alert’ is ‘Open File: SCIENCE NEWS OPENER.APP’

In AUTOMATOR I created that application which began as a Calendar Event but was saved as an app:

FIND CALENDAR EVENTS where ALL is true, "Date Starting" is "Today" and "Any Content" contains Science News.

GET SPECIFIED URLs, "Remove" the existing default Apple.com, "Add" ScienceNews.org

DISPLAY WEBPAGES: The Science News Website opens in my default browser (FFox) in its own tab, i.e., not a new window once a month - but it can open any URL you put in the Application at any time you want to program into the Calendar.

Answer 2

Ok, found it myself ...

Apparently it is not enough to just write

myapp://

but it has to be

myapp://<sometexthere>

in order for the calendar to recognize it as a custom URL scheme. Safari also accepts the version without text after the two slashes.

One never learns enough ...
