One option could be using the DDE package to start the browser (but you would probably need to write the complete path to it), with the web address as a parameter.

You would need to write some code in the when-mouse-doubleclick trigger of the text item.

Something like this:

DECLARE
ap PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
ap := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe '||:your_block.your_item,DDE.APP_MODE_NORMAL);
END;
