Thanks for the hint. The 3 methods in ProductInfoDialog did what I needed:
openLink(String href)
openWebBrowser(String href)
openWebBrowserError(Display display)
Copied them into my plugin and got it open the browser on my link.
Thanks,
Todd

Is there some way to use the browser specified in
Window/Preferences/Help/Current Web Browser Adapter?
Those APIs seem to call up mozilla on my system, whereas, I'd prefer it to
use the "sensible-browser" program that all my other programs use (and
Help/Help Contents uses).

Check out the browser extension point in org.eclipse.help

sorry, that's for defining web browsers. But you might be able to get at:
org.eclipse.help.internal.HelpSystem.getHelpBrowser()
(it's public/static for now)

Yeah, though the update plugin also uses these internal APIs (in
particular:
org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.views.DetailsView.showURL()
There's also this class, which nobody seems to use yet:
org.eclipse.help.ui.browser.LaunchURL
