Ok, that's is feasible without any ugly hacks or kludges.  Setting up
the property and menu item is easy, the interesting thing is how do
you "open" a URL from C?  I imagine there's a standard call under
Windows, and if you're just creating a Windows-specific use of Dia,
that should be fine (but requires that you compile it).  Under
Linux... I'm not sure that there is a standard way to do that, but we
could at least try to run $BROWSER.
