I assume you meant C-c C-e b for the HTML case?

Anyway, you might check out 

,----[ C-h v org-file-apps RET ]
| org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is ((auto-mode . emacs))
| Original value was 
| ((auto-mode . emacs)
|  ("\\.mm\\'" . default)
|  ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
|  ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| External applications for opening `file:path' items in a document.
| Org-mode uses system defaults for different file types, but
| you can use this variable to set the application for a given file
| extension.  The entries in this list are cons cells where the car identifies
| files and the cdr the corresponding command.  Possible values for the
| file identifier are
|  "string"    A string as a file identifier can be interpreted in different
|                ways, depending on its contents:
| 
|                - Alphanumeric characters only:
|                  Match links with this file extension.
|                  Example: ("pdf" . "evince %s")
|                           to open PDFs with evince.
| 
|                - Regular expression: Match links where the
|                  filename matches the regexp.  If you want to
|                  use groups here, use shy groups.
| 
|                  Example: ("\.x?html\'" . "firefox %s")
|                           ("\(?:xhtml\|html\)" . "firefox %s")
|                           to open *.html and *.xhtml with firefox.
| 
|                - Regular expression which contains (non-shy) groups:
|                  Match links where the whole link, including "::", and
|                  anything after that, matches the regexp.
|                  In a custom command string, %1, %2, etc. are replaced with
|                  the parts of the link that were matched by the groups.
|                  For backwards compatibility, if a command string is given
|                  that does not use any of the group matches, this case is
|                  handled identically to the second one (i.e. match against
|                  file name only).
|                  In a custom lisp form, you can access the group matches with
|                  (match-string n link).
| 
|                  Example: ("\.pdf::\(\d+\)\'" . "evince -p %1 %s")
|                      to open [[file:document.pdf::5]] with evince at page 5.
| 
|  `directory'   Matches a directory
|  `remote'      Matches a remote file, accessible through tramp or efs.
|                Remote files most likely should be visited through Emacs
|                because external applications cannot handle such paths.
| `auto-mode'    Matches files that are matched by any entry in `auto-mode-alist',
|                so all files Emacs knows how to handle.  Using this with
|                command `emacs' will open most files in Emacs.  Beware that this
|                will also open html files inside Emacs, unless you add
|                ("html" . default) to the list as well.
|  t             Default for files not matched by any of the other options.
|  `system'      The system command to open files, like `open' on Windows
|                and Mac OS X, and mailcap under GNU/Linux.  This is the command
|                that will be selected if you call `C-c C-o' with a double
|                C-u C-u prefix.
| 
| Possible values for the command are:
|  `emacs'       The file will be visited by the current Emacs process.
|  `default'     Use the default application for this file type, which is the
|                association for t in the list, most likely in the system-specific
|                part.
|                This can be used to overrule an unwanted setting in the
|                system-specific variable.
|  `system'      Use the system command for opening files, like "open".
|                This command is specified by the entry whose car is `system'.
|                Most likely, the system-specific version of this variable
|                does define this command, but you can overrule/replace it
|                here.
|  string        A command to be executed by a shell; %s will be replaced
|                by the path to the file.
|  sexp          A Lisp form which will be evaluated.  The file path will
|                be available in the Lisp variable `file'.
| For more examples, see the system specific constants
| `org-file-apps-defaults-macosx'
| `org-file-apps-defaults-windowsnt'
| `org-file-apps-defaults-gnu'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
