If I use:

set this_item to ¬
	alias "Macintosh HD:Users:jimsims:Pictures:iPhoto 
Library:2002:10:29:taufeg.jpg"
tell application "Internet Explorer"
	open this_item
end tell

A file which I created with ColorIt or PhotoShop will launch with the 
indicated browser.
I suspect that the alias has some magical powers.

Is that what you are looking for?
