So you have an html page as the active desktop background on the computers?

If so, just make the link that's clicked open in a new window and it should bring up the link in IE.
Something like this:

<a href="somepage.html" target="_blank"><img src="yourpic.jpg" alt="whatever"/></a>

Try that and see if it works out.
