My understanding is that for security reasons, Safari only opens a
specific set of helper applications. You can't get it to launch an app
for a protocol like "aim:" if it doesn't already know that protocol
and that app.
Safari will use launch services to lookup and launch a URL protocol
handler. If the user has never run the application that handles that
URL themselves (by double clicking on it) then launch services will
prompt the user to approve the action before launching it. See the
following screen shot. If launch services believes the application has
changed since it was run by the user it will show the dialog again.
