Question: Is there a way to get HA to open a URL with a service (now called actions I guess)?
I've tried a rest command and shell command in my config yaml, but these don't actually OPEN the URL.
Use Case: I'm creating an NFC Tag / QR code storage organization system with HA and want to have tags open a Proton Drive link that lists the contents of the storage bin. I realize HA may be an unnecessary middle man here, but wondering if I can get it to work so I can manage the tags through HA.

You might be able to do this with browser mod.

You didn't mention the OS, but if you're scanning it from an Android device, you can use the corresponding notify action of the device to send a command_webview message.

Otherwise yeah, bypassing HA and just writing the link directly on the tag would probably be easier and more universal if that's all you're looking for
FWIW: I do something similar, not using HA at all, and write URL shortened links to the tags to make it easy to update the destination, if needed.

You _might_ be able to do this with browser mod.
I was able to create a dashboard card to do what I want. It seems this browser mod taps into that? Worth looking into, thanks.
