Thanks to all responses! Looks like the consensus is: "get the url on the clipboard however you can, and go from there." I think that's fine -- the only regret is not having both the url and the HTML page title together. I actually use conkeror, and had seen that link above, and have been considering using it for a bit. But in the end I'd like to be able to capture TODOs and events and arbitrary text from anywhere, so I decided to base the operation in StumpWM. I'll post a link to a file when it's working...
