Thanks for the comments guys, still at the very beginning of my programming adventure I will look into implentmenting one of these and make an update in the doc about the now many different ways I've learned how to do this. Thanks

urlopen should be used as default though and it's always available, only people with OS4.0 need openurl 
 
If exists "c:urlopen" 
urlopen "http://www.amigaworld.net" 
else 
openurl "http://www.amigaworld.net" 
endif 
 
That will never fail on 4.1 and on 4.0 will open a console reporting openurl not found if it's not installed. 
 
If you want a neater solution still using a script just use a script like: 
 
.bra { 
.ket } 
.key url 
If exists "c:urlopen" 
urlopen "{url}" 
else 
if exists "c:openurl" 
openurl "{url}" 
else 
echo "OpenURL Not installed." 
endif 
endif 
 
Then in the icons have the script as the default tool, run in shell mode without prompting for input, put the url in a tooltype. 
 
Don't forget to set the S bit on the script 
 
I've not tested this but you should be able to use the same script with all the icons.

Another script solution would be: 
 
if exists sys:c/OpenURL 
if exists libs:openurl.library 
openurl "http://www.amigaworld.net" 
endif 
else 
urlopen "http://www.amigaworld.net" 
endif

Both of the Twitter and Facebook logos are out of date and the amigaworld logo is clearly squeezed horizontally.  Nice idea.

You can easily remove the dependency on iconx by doing the following:- 
 
Open the icon onformation. 
Turn the script protection bit on. 
Go to the icon tab and delete the default tool. 
Change 'start from' to shell, turn off prompt for input 
 
Another way to do it is:- 
just have an icon with the url as the name eg. os4depot.net.info 
set the default tool to urlopen 
and a tooltype of "PROTOCOL=HTTP" 
 
No need to set the script bit and just run it in workbench mode.
