It's not perfect, but it works.
I added the following settings in .xressources:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher: st -e lynx $0
URxvt.keysym.C-Delete: matcher:select
URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\b(\\w+\\:\\/\\/\\S+)\\b
Links are now underlined, and
control-delete activates the select mode, enter launches the
application to open the link. I don't know if it's possible
to open a link in the same instance of lynx.
Thanks for the tip Ben, I don't see it as a replacement for
having gophermaps everywhere, but it has the merit of existing.
It also got me off ghostty :-)

This one is wishful thinking. The Elpher gopher client linkifies gopher text
files, ie. when it sees an url it converts it to a link.
This would make lynx perfect for gopher in my mind. How would it be
possible?
Greetings!
One workaround is to use a smart terminal. See IanJ's post:
