I don't know if it's possible to detect "USK at blah", but you can set up a 
URL handler for "freenet:USK at blah" quite easily:

* In Firefox, go to about:config
* Right click and select New -> String
* Enter the preference name: "network.protocol-handler.app.freenet"
* Enter the preference value: "/path/to/script"

The script will be called with the URL (including the freenet: prefix) 
as an argument. My script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/firefox "http://localhost:8888/$1"

If your node's running on another machine you can modify the script 
accordingly, but bear in mind that your connection to the other machine 
won't be encrypted.

Cheers,
Michael
