This doesn't exist currently, but we'd be very happy if you hacked it. Support for highlighting regexp's would also be useful for catching URL's say. This could easily be combined with a macro (or a Ctrl-Click) that does something with the highlighted region under the cursor (e.g. opens firefox on it). As of now the only thing you can do is to open the scroll back buffer in your program of choice, in a new tab (e.g. colorgcc | less).
