xdg-open is intended to select an appropriate binary using the MIME type of the argument file. In the absence of gnome-open or kfmclient (the KDE equivalent), it's supposed to parse the files in .local to determine what to open. If you create an appropriate binding to your browser, that should do the trick (using xdg-mime, which is cumbersome but does the job).
