It's an ever-continuing debate: what is better, a graphical user interface, or a command-line interface? Graphical user interfaces may be easier to learn, but complicated operations may require a lot more user input than with a command line interface, which can perform several complicated operations by using a short sequence of words and characters. However, a CLI has a much steeper learning curve than a GUI. Google has always had a certain CLI-quality to it, and Stefan Grothkopp decided to take this a few steps further: say hello to Goosh.

Shouldn't be that hard. You can add protocol handlers via the registry. Most likely it will be enough to have PuTTy installed and to add a handler vor ssh://
In firefox you can also do this by hand ... I've got a link here which unfortunatly is in German:
http://flexible.xapient.net/?p=27
I onced did this for tel://<phone_number> in an enterprise environment to be able to create system wide links which will tell the telephony software to make a call to the link's phone number.

It could be interesting to have something like that for ssh by typing in the address bar of the browser:
ssh://username@10.0.0.1
