I can copy the URL to the clipboard; open Safari; paste the URL; hit return.
But, can I automate those steps?

open location is your friend.

The first thing I tried was ...

open v : Open an object.

open alias : The file(s) to be opened.
→ document

from Safari's dictionary. It does not open URLs.

A Google search revealed ...

tell application "Safari"
make new document at end of documents
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.example.com/"
end tell

But, I haven't tried it, yet.
