Is there a link similar to <a href="tel:..."> for text messages. The behavior would be similar but instead of calling the number it would prompt the user to send a text?

On my Mac, latest OS, simply opens Messenger and I have to type everything, phone, message, etc. Better than nothing but does not pre-load the number or message. It does deliver the message.
Is there some (html/php?) code to actually do this as with email, e.g., by looking up recipient in a directory? That would require only typing (or perhaps speaking on a phone) the message. Could do but hate to rediscover the wheel.
Try using this sms formats, which have tested on mobile browser too:
<!-- With phone number -->
<a href="sms:+150000000?body=Share%20this%20message%20on%20sms">Send SMS Message</a>
<!-- Without phone number -->
<a href="sms:?&body=Share%20this%20message%20on%20sms">Send SMS Message</a>
