    Yes it is.

    Use System.open_url : you can provide any url with any schema(http,
    file etc), depending of platform will be run associated application to
    handle this url

    System.open_url('http://www.rhomobile.com')
    

    It is also explained here in the Rhodes Documentation and you can find a code sample of how to do it here.
