Open a keynote file from a phonegap app inside Keynote

Question

Wondering if there is a way to open a keynote file with a phonegap app that would launch Keynote on the iPad if the user had it installed. I have tried it with the ChildBrowswer plugin, but it only show the simple preview of the keynote and not the actual presentation.

It works if I link directly to a hosted keynote file on a website on safari, because it will shortly show the "Open in Keynote" button in the upper right. This would be perfect functionality if I could get that to work inside of the childbrowser plugin. Any suggestions?

You could write your own plugin (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/guide_plugin-development_index.md.html#Plugin%20Development%20Guide) and use UIDocumentInteractionController (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIDocumentInteractionController_class/Reference/Reference.html) to open the file.
