From blueprint it is quite easy, just use a “Launch URL” node like this:

For C++ this should work:



FPlatformProcess::LaunchURL(TEXT("http://imgur.com/gallery/X4Sr3"), NULL, NULL);

Api docs here: FGenericPlatformProcess::LaunchURL | Unreal Engine Documentation

Both of those should open the page in what ever browser that the user has set as their default.

I am not sure if imgur recycled the link, but if not, well played sir, I had a good laugh.
