Hi Matthew, It isn't integrated with the browser, but a good start if you want to implent this is the NavigationHistory control. http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.6/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Control/NavigationHistory-js.html
Example here: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/navigation-history.html I don't know if anyone has done what you want before.
