Solution

  • I think you want this — dart:js enables interoperability between Dart and JS —:

    import 'dart:js' as js;
    
    // ...
    
    FlatButton(
      child: Text('Button'),
      onPressed: () {
        js.context.callMethod('open', ['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask']);
      },
    )
