Playing a URL link on my OpenPLI device

This may be a silly question, but I have yet to find an answer.

While using my computer, I find a cool link in my email or using my browser. I copy the link.

How do I now open that link on my OpenPLI 6? I have an OpenWebif but there is no way to paste a link. I haven't found a plugin that will allow me to paste a link. The VLC DLNA stuff doesn't work. Do I need to SSH into my box and run some command line?

Thanks for any pointers!
