xdg-open would be the simplest way of doing so, from head off:
command = g_strdup_printf ("xdg-open %s", uri);
gdk_spawn_command_line (command);

Otherwise you can use the GIO API, I don't know exactly so it's just a
random guess.  GAppInfo has functions to launch uris, and GFile has
functions to get a GAppInfo (g_file_query_default_handler and
g_app_info_launch*).

I would recommend xdg-open of course.  Depending on the build system
you are using, you can check at configure-time if the command xdg-open
is installed or not and print a message, for instance.
