Apple's tvOS URL schemes?

I've got an app that lets people load user-defined content into it, and displays that content (for example for e-signage applications, interactive kiosks, et cetera).

One of the things I'd like to do in it is put up a description of a podcast, and then put a button on the screen that tells Apple's "Podcasts" app to open it.

I tried to do this via [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: ]; with the URL for the podcast from the iTunes store, based on the claim I saw elsewhere that that works on iOS. It did not work for me on tvOS (9.3b2).

I know our apps can provide custom URL schemes, and supposedly the openURL: method will work for one third-party app to open another third-party app. But right now I'm more interested in opening things in Apple's own apps (music, tv, movies, trailers, podcasts, and the app store).

Do the tvOS versions of Apple's apps support any URL schems at all right now? Are they documented anywhere?
