 I think it is and this is indeed what I had initially wanted to do. But
then I decided that the program should be smart enough to autodetect this -
except that now, after finally implementing this autodetection I see that
it's not.

 The problems I have with this approach are:

1. the obvious one: M admits being dumb and incapable of "doing the right
   thing" alone

2. the highlighting would still be wrong

3. code would have to be changed more significantly to accomodate this but
   this is less difficult than I had initially thought

4. I don't see good GUI for this: i.e. are we going to have, in addition to
   the current "Open", "Open in new window" and "Copy to clipboard" also
   "Open using tail on the next line" and "Open in new window using ..."
   and "Copy to clipboard using ..."? Also, single clicking the link still
   won't work as expected.

 The (4) is the most important one, if someone sees a good solution to this
I'd be ready to do it. Note that I don't think having a checkbox "This URL
is wrapped" is a good idea as it would require clicking it twice - hardly
ideal.

 So if it were possible to detect this automatically I'd still prefer to do
it...
