Ah - I see: these are 'indirect' files; an example .URL file:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.foo.com/

and they do work correctly with Calibre and my browser (Chrome).

Might get tedious doing a quantity of such - but for limited use might be acceptable.

One advantage: they provide completely seamless access of the web page via Calibre.

Portability issue: does any OS besides Windows implement such?
