Maybe x-www-browser a solution?

x-www-browser url - open your favorite web browser loading url

Try

call reform [ "x-www-browser" http://www.rebol.com ]

I suggest using "xdg-open" instead of "open", as "xdg-open" should be widely supported.

A patch implementing this is attached. I also submitted this patch to R3 chat as r3-hostkit-linux-browse.patch in 7206 (the file itself is 7208).
