A Google personal lookup plug-in for Address Book

The open location command is part of the standard additions. Just leave the command outside all tell blocks and the URL open event will be sent to the default browser. (Which is set in Safari's preferences).

I could not get the open location command to work on its own. I tried both calling it directly (without any tell blocks) and putting it in a separate function and passing the url to that function — neither worked. What did work, however, was to tell System Events to open the url:
tell application "System Events" to open location theURL
Because the open location command usually works without any tell blocks, I figure one explanation might be that Address Boook is intercepting the command.
