Yeah, sorry.  I just threw that down without checking it.

That makes total sense.  The function declared in .bashrc is only
going to work from a bash shell.  Didn't occur to me at the time.
You'll have to do what you said and place the code to execute the
'emacsclient' command within a shell script somewhere in $PATH.

The javascript itself is pretty straight forward (at least I thought
so having never used it before).  Setting up some key bindings and
webjumps was enough to give me a feel for it.  Learning all the
functionality of the underlying libraries will probably take a little
longer.

I took a crack at it and I think what I have below will accomplish
what you want if placed in your .conkerorrc.  Hope that helps.

function shell_on_url(funcname, funcdesc, cmd) {
    //Create an interactive function for running a predetermined
    //shell command on a url
    //Bind a specific shell command for a url to 'functionname'

    //Taken largely from "shell-command-on-url"  and
    //"shell-command-on-file" in commands.js
    interactive(funcname, funcdesc,
        function (I) {
            var cwd = I.local.cwd;
            var element = yield read_browser_object(I);
            var spec = load_spec(element);
            var uri = load_spec_uri_string(spec);
            shell_command_with_argument_blind(cmd, uri, $cwd = cwd);
        },
        $browser_object = browser_object_links);
}
shell_on_url("w3m-on-url", "Open a url in emacs w3m mode","emacs-web");
