What it won't do is let me start applications, like iCal, whereas this:

<html>
<BODY>
<a href="open:harddrivenamehere/Applications/iCal">test me</a>
</body>
</html>

Will let me open iCal or any other application that will take an open event
and and a known path...

<html>
<BODY>
<a href="open: harddrivenamehere/System/Library/CoreServices/Classic
Startup">test me</a>
</body>
</html>

Works quite well too.
