but URI-passing would tell you which URL or link is selected.  so
far, so good.  now you'd need something to make a local browser use that
URL.

given a remote-side binding of:

  set document.uri_passing.clip = "echo -n %c | xclip -i"

did you try switching to a local terminal and just do "xclip -o" to
check? i think this should allow using the contents of the X11 clipboard
wherever you need it.  how about an alias

  alias gui='firefox `xclip -o`'?

this has to be on the local side, of course.

do you use the ssh(1) X11-forwarding?  you don't need to use xclip(1),
of course.  anything that lets you beam data back to your local computer
is alright.

was that supposed to be "screen -d -RR"?  i can find `-RR' in screen(1),
but not `-rr'.

i hope i didn't mix up "client" and "server" here, which is reversed in
meaning in X11.
