Using Silverlight 5, you will need to activate the following setting: "Require elevated trust when running in-browser". Then you can launch any executable using the Shell. Here is an example with Chrome, the argument should be your uri. 

if (App.Current.HasElevatedPermissions)
{
    dynamic shell = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    exeFile.Run(@"""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"" myuri.com");
}
