No, the user has to run them manually.

You've obviously never been sent a Windows 'internet link' thing as an
attachment; when viewed in an attachment list, they show up simply as
'www.whatever.zoink' (possibly renamed by the sender, or with a .lnk on the
end) -- most users aren't going to realise that www.whatever.zoink is not a
link, because most users are either ignorant or just plain stupid.
