Not really easily.
You could possibly write code for each OS and many different possible  
browsers, then wrap all of it with a detect system function that  
which system to run code for, then check for browsers you can open...

However, if you're considering using a web-based user-interface for  
cross-platform, that's not a bad idea.
Thus the easiest way to open a browser window on 3 platforms is to  
get users to click on a link or bookmark!
