In the alternatives scheme, the browser is "x-www-browser",
so for example on my system:

The x-www-browser is respected by K desktop apps, and
in my config, they all now use Iceweasel instead of Konqueror
when I click on links. I don't know what other apps might
or might not respect the x-www-browser setting, but I would
think any desktop app packaged for Debian should do it.
