Try using it to access the WiFi settings in iOS 5.1

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=WIFI"]];

Try using it to access the WiFi settings in iOS 9

if (&UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString != NULL) { 
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=WIFI"]]; 
}

Try to add prefs tu URL schemes like stackoverflow.com/a/31253743/3668465 did.

You can use this option for identify a SSID:

iOS >= 4.1 it's possible to obtain SSID of wireless network that device is currenctly connected to.

For this you'd use function CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo

Details on implemenation: iPhone get SSID without private library

In ios < 5.1 apple was supporting shortcut urls like the one you described. But later for ios >= 5.1 apple discontinued it.
