Yes, but not in the default browser if the local file has a creator code for
another app assigned to it.

Curiously, this:

on mouseUp
  answer file "Locate HTML:"
  if it is empty then exit mouseUp
  put it into tPath
  revGoUrl tPath
  put the result
end mouseUp

...neither launches the local file nor displays a result.
