2. Computer cannot even beep now, how would it "whisper"? Special device?
3. Launching any external program without explicit user demand is quite bad. Especially inet access.

The default browser of the user that clicks the link.

The idea is that the user is prompted - by ComputerCraft / MineCraft, as opposed to the script - as to whether or not the link should be opened.

The way to go would be to define areas of an advanced system/monitor's display to act like a link. Some sort of special "print" function would be required, one that drew a line under the rendered text and flagged it as a URL.
It's certainly do-able, but a fair bit of work would be involved. The question is whether it's worth it.

allow users to disable the promt from appering on there client with a "stop showing prompts this session" showing in the prompt. that way if a user loops the promt, you can click that and no matter how many times the script requests the promt, it wont effect you.
now, here is another problem, how would the computer know who to show the prompt too? whoever has the gui open at the time? if that was the the case another solution to prompt spam is just to not open that terminal again after it kicks you out of the cc interface for the prompt the second or third time.

How about special button it GUI? Player can click on it, then any string on the screen to try to open it in default browser.
This way no special function needed, player initiate browser launch himself, no screen change needed.
