Just as an FYI, I think you're looking at the wrong place. The page
you're referring to states explicitly: "This authentication how-to is
for web applications only. Desktop application developers should see the
desktop application how-to."
A "web application" is one that runs in a browser to begin with so the
question of how to launch a browser for your app isn't really applicable.
But besides that, I think you're looking for the ExternalWebBrowser
package which can be found at SqueakMap:
