A:
If someone has defaulted to one browser (let say Chrome), you cannot ask the current browser (using JavaScript) to open the link to a specific browser (i.e. you want Internet Explorer instead of Chrome). I am not sure about Flash or Silverlight's ability to do what you want.
I have found a technique but it is specific to VBScript inside Excel and it may need the UA agent check to make sure it works correctly for a target environment if you want to adapt the similar code in Silverlight:

Almost there, but it seems it will access DOM (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/Q_20781860.html) and in Silveright Out-of-Browser mode, DOM/scripting bridge is disabled. But thanks.

If you have the right permissions in silverlight you can read and wright to disk. So yes you can.

With HyperLinkButton you can't. If your OOB app is in full trust mode you can use automation object InternetExplorer.Application to open and control IE.
