Is it possible to create a webbrowser inside a Flex (not AIR!) application? I want to display some links in a Flex application and when a user clicks the links, it should open a custom component with some sort of a webbrowsing component. Is it possible?

Short answer - no. There are some simple html rendering capabilities built-in but that's probably not what you're looking for.
Long answer - it's possible inside browser, eg. using IFrame, or using AIR, which has a built in broswer. If having an exe file and not an AIR file is a problem, AIR 2.0 allows you to create native application installers. Check it at Adobe labs.

The problem is, we want our application to run without any installation (like running from a usb stick). What html rendering capabilities are you refering to?

Hardly any, you can try setting the htmlText field of some components, check this article: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=textcontrols_04.html , it's nowhere near "web-browsing"
