According to this SO response , in WP7 there is no effective way to do this, but in WP8 it is possible and you can use the protocol handlers through the launchUriAsync .
For example, if you want to launch the app from Wi-Fi Settings you can do it.
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync("ms-settings-wifi")
To launch Skype with a selected user you can call:
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync("skype:myskypeid");
