Not exactly this, but Skype does by default install extensions for handling its own URLs so you can trigger a Skype call from a link on a page. Search the web for information on Skype callto links. Maybe Messenger does something similar, I haven't checked it.
For more extensive interaction with external applications, you would probably need native browser plug-ins.
