Given that you are modifying the generated output, you can change the 
link to use JavaScript and TextMate.system(), example:

	<script>
	function open_url(url) {
	  TextMate.system("open '" + url + "'");
	}
	</script>

	<a href="#" onClick="open_url('http://macromates.com/'); return 
true;">Open Website</a>
