There is no need to "target" any application, open location in the Standard Additions osax
automatically targets the default web browser. It will also target the email program if you use a
mailto type of format.
In general it's a good idea to keep the commands of any osax outside of tell blocks whenever
possible. You've already discovered why this is so. :) Paste the script below into your script
editor and run it, note what happens and also note there are no tell blocks needed.
(* Script Start *)
Open location "
http://www.apple.com";
open location "
mailto:email@hidden";
(* Script End *)
