Thinking about this a bit more. If your browser is already doing the
"right thing", maybe the webbrowser module is enough to get this
behavior:

webbrowser should invoke the browser on your behalf.  Maybe your web
browser is set up to dispatch this to the steam application?  Hard to
tell without testing this myself, but I'm not in an environment that
lets me try this out at the moment.
