In html articles rendered by emacs-w3m, the `w3m-minor-mode-map'
keymap controls what command is called by a key or an event.  So,
in the ~/.emacs-w3m.el file, you can modify it as follows:

(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map "KEY" 'COMMAND)

But if you use pretty recent emacs-w3m[1], I think the following
one is just what you want:

(setq w3m-goto-article-function 'browse-url)

The default value of this variable is nil and emacs-w3m uses its
certain function when following links in html articles.

[1] You can get the most recent one from the emacs-w3m CVS server
    or: http://cvs.namazu.org/emacs-w3m.tar.gz
