Calling browser/URL from the link on webpage

Question

Dear Experts,
My requirement is, I have a webdynpro component, I need to add a link on particular view which calls another webpage(either in a new window or in same window) if I click on that.
To fulfill my requirement I used CALL_BROWSER FM.
The problem here is am getting dump from the FM.
Dump text:
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES======CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Am getting this error from cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute (inside CALL_BROWSER)
Please guide me how to proceed here (I guess I should not use CALL_BROWSER since already am in browser).

To open a URL in a separate window you can use the following code,
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component  type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component  = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
  EXPORTING
    URL            = 'http://www.google.co.in/'
    MODAL          = ABAP_FALSE
    HAS_MENUBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    IS_RESIZABLE   = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_SCROLLBARS = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_STATUSBAR  = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_TOOLBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_LOCATION   = ABAP_TRUE
  RECEIVING
    WINDOW         = lo_window.lo_window->open( ).
Hope it helps!
