I am looking for a way to post a Android “Intent” from a website. In the particular case, I want to open the native Google Maps Directions. Is there a portable way to archive the same behavious with iOS?

I cannot speak for iOS. However, on Android, if the user clicks on a Google Maps URL, they will have the choice of opening the map in a browser or in the native Google Maps application. With respect to directions, if you have the proper Google Maps URL with the driving directions encoded, it will open up in the Directions portion of the Google Maps app (again, if the user chooses).
