Beamer-Button which opens a browser with an URL

Question

is it possible to use a beamerbutton for presentations which would open a browser and a given URL?

Answer 1

You can use any linking command from hyperref to make links from beamer buttons. For example the following uses \href to link a button to this question:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/20800/5701}{\beamergotobutton{Link}}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
