I figured out a way to get it done.  Thanks for the help.

 

onClick event:

var doc:NotesDocument = LinkList.getDocument();
doc.getItemValueString("Title")
var a:NotesAgent = database.getAgent("OpenWebApplication");
a.runWithDocumentContext(doc);

 

 

the agent:
    Dim s As New NotesSession
    Dim doc As NotesDocument
    Dim arg As String
    Dim ieApp As Variant
    set doc = s.DocumentContext
    arg = doc.Link(0)   
    Set ieApp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ieApp.Navigate(arg)
    ieApp.Visible = True
