There is a file (part of maemo):

https://stage.maemo.org/viewcvs.cgi/maemo/projects/browser/browser/trunk
/osso-browser-interface/osso-browser-interface.h?rev=1344&view=markup

And there is a d-bus interface described in this file.

You need one of these functions:

/* URL loading service */

/**
 * Open new browser window. \n
 * \b url: The URL to load in new browser window\n
 * \b Example: Open new window with home page
 * \code
 * ret = osso_rpc_run_with_defaults(app_ctx, "osso_browser",
 *                         OSSO_BROWSER_OPEN_NEW_WINDOW_REQ, NULL, 
 *                         DBUS_TYPE_STRING, "new_window",
DBUS_TYPE_INVALID);
 * \endcode
 * \b Example: Open new window with url 
 * \code
 * ret = osso_rpc_run_with_defaults(app_ctx, "osso_browser",
 *                         OSSO_BROWSER_OPEN_NEW_WINDOW_REQ, NULL, 
 *                         DBUS_TYPE_STRING, url, DBUS_TYPE_INVALID);
 * \endcode
 *
 */ 
#define OSSO_BROWSER_OPEN_NEW_WINDOW_REQ    "open_new_window"


/**

 * \b url: The URL to load\n
 * \b Example: Load Home page in currently open browser window 
 * \code
 * ret = osso_rpc_run_with_defaults(app_ctx, "osso_browser",
 *                         OSSO_BROWSER_LOAD_URL_REQ, NULL, 
 *                         DBUS_TYPE_STRING, "new_window",
