Unfortunately, no.  The ‘guix’ package is not in propagated-inputs or in
any other inputs of ‘guix-browse’ package.

Taking a quick look onto ‘~/.guix-profile/manifest’ I found that the
‘gwl’ package has ‘guix’ inside ‘propagated-inputs’.

Sure, I will send an email after a refactoring.  :-) It doesn't do much
except calling a ‘$BROWSER’ though.

Thank you and be free to ask more information from me.
