This makes interoperability very poor, and will prevent many people from migrating to Ubuntu. Copy any 'filename.url' from a Microsoft Windows machine, or create a file with the following contents: [DEFAULT] BASEURL=http://www.ubuntu.com [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.ubuntu.com and name it 'ubuntu.url'. Double click in Nautilus to launch. Nothing happens. It should launch in the same manner as a 'desktop' internet shortcut. Note: a workaround has been developed - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3281092. This should be provided by default Ubuntu installation.
