should we just do like gnome-terminal and xchat?

when the mouse is over what seems to bwe an hyperlink, right clicking on them will add 
the option to follow that link in a browser.

It would seem to me that for that we'd need the application to follow "a word" with 
the mouse, and try to guess what's under it:
  normal text   => normal menu
  hyperling     =>      "      + hyperlink
  numeric exp   =>      "      + calculate
  others?

although it may not seem much of an important feature (and maybe it isn't) it's an 
insightfull one, imho.
