Another option:

```auto
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.util import BrowserLauncher
BrowserLauncher.openURL("https://google.com")

```

Another option, depending on your platform, is `system.util.execute` - Windows has a `start` executable that will open a link with the associated default program, and on most Linux desktops you could use `xdgopen`.
