If you click a link in the browser, you can't get it to open up programs for you on your local machine. The work is done under the user of the web server, so you won't see Kate open up at all. Kate supports all the kio slaves, so there may be a protocal you can stream the content down to kate, and have the link point to the file via this protocol.
