You'll most likely want a actual entity instead of using a prop.

if you know how to get the base code of a entity then this is what you need to do,

in init.lua find something called "function ENT:Use" and replace it with:
[lua]
function ENT:Use( activator )
umsg.Start("NewspaperInfo", activator)
umsg.End()
end
[/lua]

then go to cl.init.lua and post this inside of it

[lua]
local function NewPaperShit()
local Website = vgui.Create("HTML")
Website:SetPos(500,400)
Website:SetSize(ScrW(), ScrH())
Website:OpenURL("http://www.google.com") -- put your link here
end
usermessage.Hook("NewspaperInfo", NewPaperShit)

[/lua]

hopefully you understand.

That would make an infinite loop of windows you can't close. This will open the Steam browser one time.

[lua]function ENT:Initialize()
self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
end

function ENT:Use(activator, caller)
activator:SendLua([[gui.OpenURL("http://www.website.com/yoururlhere.html")]])
end[/lua]

Better method:
[Lua]
activator.NextUse = activator.NextUse or 0
function ENT:Use( activator )
if activator.NextUse < CurTime() then
activator.NextUse = CurTime() + 3
activator:SendLua([[gui.OpenURL("Website url")]])
end
end
[/Lua]
Or, if you want it for a every prop that is spawnable and looks like that:
[Lua]
hook.Add("PlayerUse", "Motdprop", function(pl, entity)
pl.NextUse = pl.NextUse or 0
if string.find(entity:GetClass(), "prop_physics") then
if entity:GetModel() == "Link To Your Model" then
pl.NextUse = CurTime() + 3
pl:SendLua([[gui.OpenURL("Website url")]])
end
end
end)
[/Lua]

SIMPLE_USE means only once per key press.
