In this dictionary context.....

OpenURL string -- URL
[to 'FSS '] -- file destination

The Netscape folks screwed up in their terminology, specifying 'FSS ' instead of 'fss ', which would instead show up as the following:

OpenURL string -- URL
[to file specification] -- file destination

So you'd use this as follows:

tell application "Netscape"
OpenURL "some url location" to file "Macintosh HD:My Folder:some location"
end tell

You can also use "alias" instead of "file":

tell application "Netscape"
OpenURL "some url location" to alias "Macintosh HD:My Folder:some location"
end tell
