There's a new Steam Beta client available. To access the Beta, go to File -> Settings, and on the Account tab will be a drop down. Select Steam Client Candidate, and then allow Steam to restart itself. Here are the specific changes:
- Updated game overlay web browser to support generic web browsing, including web sites that use flash
- Fixed games list scrolling behavior with pageup/pagedown and mouse wheel
- Many back-end Steamworks changes in preparation for a Steamworks SDK update

Mmmm... so when using the STEAM overlay, can now access web pages too.. Interesting.

Obviously BETA but a great idea.

To enable BETA paticipation:

Goto your STEAM settings
Under "BETA Participation" - Select Change
Apply BETA
STEAM will restart and Update.

Same process top remove BETA participation.
