I think this is a reasonable feature request. Please open a ticket at
http://www.lyx.org/trac

I suppose we would just add an item to the right-click menu of the inset
box. I don't think we would have right-clicking on the text inside the
URL box (like for example happens in gnome-terminal or other
applications that detect URLs).
We could open the link in our viewer for .html files.
