Well, don't use the special 'Link' kdelnk file, use a regular 'Application'
kdelnk file, and put the command to open the url in the "Exec" line of that
file.  For example, instead of:

    URL=http://www.address.com/
    Icon=www.xpm
    Type=Link
    Name=World Wide Web URL

use

    Name=World Wide Web URL
    Type=Application
    Exec=mynetsapewrapper http://www.address.com/

where your netscapewrapper could do something like

        netscape -remote "openURL ($1, new-window)" || netscape "$1"

which I have not tested but Should Work.

You can choose any registered application for html by right-clicking on the
html file.  I do not think you can make another app the default one, though.
