My project is in GM Studio 1.4 which is why I'm not using url_open. (Some kind of existing issue which actually led me to your extension.)

I just checked, it looks like I did use the internet shortcut example, should I just use execute_shell_simple with the URL?

The internet shortcut approach should work so long as the user has an internet browser assigned in system settings. If the user cannot fix this on their end, you could offer an alternative approach that copies the url using clipboard_set_text.

Ah, it makes sense to me that it would say 'Application not found' if the user did not have one set in their system settings. Thanks for the response YAL.
