Support opening URL on host via xdg-open

Because the current tech preview does not yet support accelerated 3D graphics, I have found myself using the host's browser (Chome) much more. And one thing that occurred to me is that it would be fantastic if, via xdg-open, I could open a browser tab on the host from within the guest. 

I've had a search around and not been able to find anything like this. 

Would this be feasible?

From linux, this should be possible using open-vm-tools and setting the application to open on the host.  On windows, without VMWare tools, there's not much you'll be able to do.
