just set the action type to python and then use pyQT :)


The following python code should open the file pointed by %FIELD
with the default application (e.g. an image viewer):

from PyQt4.QtCore import QUrl; from PyQt4.QtGui import
QDesktopServices; QDesktopServices.openUrl( QUrl.fromLocalFile(%FIELD)
);


The next one will get an url instead, so if %FIELD contains
http://www.qgis.org it should open the web browser:

from PyQt4.QtCore import QUrl; from PyQt4.QtGui import
QDesktopServices; QDesktopServices.openUrl( QUrl(%FIELD) );


It's easy, isn't it? :)
Regards.
