We could bind [mouse-2] on highlighted URLs to follow a link
exactly like lisp/net/goto-addr.el does.
Oh, I don't think we want to do that - unless perhaps the buffer is
read-only. Ffap is used in all kinds of buffers, and you still want to be
able to use mouse-2 to paste text within, say, a file name or URL.

I agree. A new option would be useful.
We might want to distinguish the face from the mouse-face highlighting, in
this discussion.
