In KDE this functionality has been for ages, but it is done in slightly
different way then in Gnome (I guess, no KDE user ever felt pressure to try
gnome-terminal, so they have no clue, what you were talking about) --
whenever URL gets to the clipboard by any means (not only from konsole,
which is an equivalent of gnome-terminal) klipper (which is small applet
making life with a clipboard a breeze) can raise up a pop-up window which
gives you options what to do with the it according to which URL it is
(e.g., for http:// it offers all installed browsers, for mailto: kmail or
mutt). Of course all that is configurable to the smallest detail in
klipper's settings. All that available at least since KDE 2.[12].

Best,

Matej
