It'll take somework, but if you use Links the chain, you might be able to 
figure out what kind of stream it is and set up a file assosciation - why 
they don't use mime types and mailcap is beyond me, but ...

Anyway, I reckon that's your best bet, since it's a javascript link, the 
cat won't touch it.
