Lynx would run "rm" directly (not in a shell, which would have an alias).
But you can make it run a shell script or "any" program such as trash-put.

That's assuming that "trash-put" removes the files given as arguments,
like "rm".  If it needs options, then a short shell-script may make
"trash-put" act like "rm".

(if it's a GUI that can't act like "rm", I don't know...)
