Save webpage link on iPhone's desktop programmatically


In order to save a direct web link on iPhone's desktop, I use to browse desired webpage on safari and, once loaded, press middle button and then save to desktop option. I would like to do the same programmatically using jqtouch, jquery or any other asp method. How could it be done?
