If that's all you're doing, why not just use Internet Location files? They
are useful back to I don't know what OS, but in the 8's [and there is a
handy little free utility to make them work in OSs which didn't natively
support them, down to 7 I believe.]
No need to spend precious life on a problem that's been solved ages ago:
portable, double-clickable, URLs.
But, to answer specifically, the only command you are using is 'open
location'. Any AS install that has that command will execute that command.
