This crate provides the open function, which opens a file or link with the default program configured on the system:

// open a website
opener::open("https://www.rust-lang.org")?;

// open a file
opener::open("../Cargo.toml")?;

An open_browser function is also provided, for when you intend on opening a file or link in a browser, specifically. This function works like the open function, but explicitly allows overriding the browser launched by setting the $BROWSER environment variable.
