KDE's konqueror support these kind of URLs for browsing info files.
info:/dir
info:/am-utils/Top
info:/am-utils/Supported Platforms
etc.
(It supports lots of extremely nifty URL schemes. A google URL for
instance; just type `gg:ding' to Google for ding. No imdb: URL
though, but it's configurable<tm> so it's trivial to add.)
