I have a similar tool that I call xurl (or is it xopenwww).

First I highlight some text. Then I left click into it (I located it at
bottom right of my screen) and it opens "lynx"; right click is "links" and
middle is a netscape wrapper (gives me galeon). If it doesn't start with
"http" or "www" it beeps instead. It removes "<" and ">" and white space
from ends and middle -- so a long wrapped URL will still work.

This tool must save me minutes every day :)

I'll make the source available ...
