Here is a workaround for SeaMonkey:
For those who use Ubuntu (Gnome) I use the following in:
System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Web Browser|Custom|Command
<fullpathtoSeaMonkey>/seamonkey -remote openURL("%s",new-tab)
Now when you click the link in the 'Changes' description of
Update-Manager, the link open a new tab in SeaMonkey (even if SM is
already open) and open the https://launchpad.net/bugs/<issuenumber>
<fullpathtoSeaMonkey>/seamonkey -remote openURL("%s",new-window)
also works.

And a workaround for opening via a new tab in Firefox:
System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Web Browser|
Command: firefox -new-tab "%s"
or for a new window -
firefox -new-window "%s"
Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
I'd still very much like to see the full url of the link in the update-
manager 'Changes' section so that one can view where clicking on the
link will take them. Failure to do so can create a security issue in the
future as it encourages clicking on a blind link.
