I have been asked by our iPad Admin. to create a link on our intranet that will open the application Filebrowser on student's iPads. Is there a way to code this in HTML or HTML5? No icon needed, just a link to open from browser (Safari) on the iPad.

I'm a novice coder, really a front-end designer who often has to find ways to code something so any help is greatly appreciated.

Generally no. See: How to run an external program, e.g. notepad, using hyperlink?

That being said, you can open a "file browser" when you click on an <input type="file" /> form tag, to browse and select a file for upload, but I gather that is not what you want.

You can also create a link to a local file, but you'll run into permissions issues. See: How can I create a link to a local file on a locally-run web page?
