No, and it is really none of the applet's business. It is a security thing.

Imagine you control an applet that opens an innocuous window. I get bored with that and reuse the window to surf over to BigBustyBabes.com instead. That final URL is not something I (as a user) would want your applet to know.

This link might help with opening a new URL, but from the same browser window. However assuming that you can reach the path where a browser is, you could easily run it. However I think this can be done easier with javascript, at least the part with retrieving the end URL, javascript seems to be the solution.

For opening a new window with javascript: window.open(URL,name,specs,replace).
For retrieving a URL with javascript use document.URL
