qr-code

I am looking to create a QR code that does the following:

When scanned from inside an application, it dislpays a custom alert, (Ex. "You won $5")
When scanned with a different QR code reader (non app) it goes to a mobile web page that directs the user to download the application.

My main question is: Can you control what happens when a QR code is scanned by a reader that is not your own? (A 'default' action, if you will)

I am writing a program in Objective-C (XCode 3.2, on Snow Leopard) that is capable of either selectively blocking certain sites for a duration or only allow certain sites (and thus block all others) for a duration.
