Hi,
From Emacs-devel:

Subject: org-open-file: ignores browse-url settings
Date: the 21st of August 2015 at 20:07

Function org-open-file uses customization variable org-file-apps to
decide how to open a file.
Unfortunately it's also making it difficult / impossible to set it up
so that org files exported to HTML open in Emacs using EWW ---
-specifically: the customization interface for org-file-apps claims to
let you provide a custom lisp form which in principle should let one
specify browse-url -- (admittedly convoluted ) but even that fails to
work -- mostly because the documentation is somewhat light with
respect to showing how one gets ones hands on the matched link.
My personal opinion would be to get rid of org-file-apps. Opening files
correctly is the job of either Emacs or the OS.

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.x?html?\\'" . (eww-open-file file)))
should do the trick.

We can improve documentation.

I'm not sure about it.
Org can divert from Emacs when it comes to what to do with files. You
may want to view it from Org but edit it from Emacs. The OS doesn't know
about Lisp.
Note that you can force `org-open-file' to open it with Emacs,
effectively ignoring `org-file-apps' altogether.
Regards,
