The browseURL() function open your internet browser with the url 
indicated as parameter:
browseURL("http://www.r-project.org")

But I am not sure how you want call it. You should be more precise about 
the context you want to use it.
For example:

links <- data.frame(c(' for Google', ' for Bing'),
                c("http://www.google.com", "http://www.bing.com"),
                     stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
cat("Choose an option:\n", paste(1:2, links[,1],"\n"))
f<-scan(nmax=1, quiet=TRUE)

browseURL(links[f,2])

Sincerely
Marc
