Help Way to write syntax that will launch into a text?

I'll try to explain my question as best as I can. I'm lacking vocabulary with reference to the Android system and I'm forgetting what it's called in Windows. So I'll do my best to explain.

In various types of situations, exp. apps that richedit support, if memory serves, you can write a line and when that "hyperlink" is clicked, it will initiate an action and will populate fields, all starting from that line. I had to hunt down hex code for things some time back and now just have my cheat sheet of codes and I'm good to go.

For example, if I type this line in my Windows notepad replacement app called Metapad:

mailto:me@here.com&subject=Subject%20Line&body=Text%20body%2E

when I click on the above, my default email client is launched, and the subject line and body are populated by what I have typed in that line. It's basic here, as it's just an example.

Is there anything similar in the Android universe? I simple can't find apps to do certain things and would rather just start writing my own solutions, like I would when the same thing happens in Windows.

If there was such a thing available for use with my Nexus 4, I could then in a database program and just have a bunch of buttons with my code behind and could really customize things so that I start working more at speed on my Nexus. Right now, I'm using information that I have to search through and copy-paste from a text file. Really dumb esp. when I compare what I can do on a computer.

Any help appreciated in this regard.

Thank you!
