Yes, the extensions, plugins, plain old anchor text, and the like are the way to go, the Geohase URI scheme are currently implemented is really cool! I've just opened an example URI in a Browser Session <http://demo.openlinksw.com/rdfbrowser/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kanzaki.com%2Fns%2Fgeo%2Fu07t4qf8j%3A2008-09-28_2008-10-03%3BINRIA_IST_2008%3Furi%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.inria.fr%2Factualites%2Fcolloques%2F2008%2Fist08%2F>:-) Note, that the Map and TimeLine control provide appropriate views.
