That should work.  
Maybe the popup blocker is enabled?

Read the 'EDIT' at the bottom!

Yes and no...

I had an app for iPhone, webd, for jotting some info for our house, accessable by all habitants - and I was using siri shortcuts for accessing that app. It worked perfectly - even on the AppleWatch, what was really wonderful and handy in this case

After an update for the watch, the url (http or https) was no longe working - although the very same url sent by email did still work. Questions on the Apple forum did not help, so I lost interest  
)-:

(on iPhone, the shortcuts are still working - mostly)

EDIT:  
Just after writing the above, I checked the app again (did not check that for months) - and it is working again!!  
I still can not use it because of 'cookies deactivated' message - but maybe that comes back again. Maybe my postings at Apple found open ears...  
So cool!
