This is mouse-dependent (lacking keyboard support in my terminal
emulator for selections), but what I do is this:
- select the URL with the mouse; often a double-click-drag or a single
triple click (or in rxvt-unicode, at least, double-click beyond the line
ending) is precise enough
- type Alt-H (for "href")
In FVWM I have Alt-H bound to run a script with the URL, eg:
firefox "`xclip -o`"
It does presume you're using X11, but I imagine it could be adapted.
