Thanks for pointing this out. Could you elaborate a bit on how this works?

I ask because a standard tag I used stores only roughly 800 bytes.

In case raw binary data would be stored instead of links, for example, how
does iOS automatically executes this data, once the tag is noticed by the
iOS device?
