Easier Ways:
1.
If you use gnome-terminal the above simplifies to:
- right click URL in gnome-terminal
- Select "Open Link" from the popup menu.
I suspect other "fancy" terminal emulators have similar features.
2.
If you use Galeon:
- Left double click URL in xterm (to highlight URL)
- Middle click in _body_ of galeon
I suspect other browsers have this feature too.
Cheers,
Nick.
