Program to open a link when you highlight it?

I was wondering, is there any program out there that will let you right click an address on a site that isn't in hyperlink form and right click it, then select to open it in a new browser window?

This would be so handy and I find myself crying everytime I need to copy a link and paste it into my browser window and wishing this program existed.

This has got to be one of the laziest requests I've ever heard

Doesn't seem likely that this would exist.

If it did, probably would take about as much effort as double-clicking the text, ctrl-c, paste into browser.

See the thing is the more you use the net the more "slow" some thigns start to become where they would seem quick to other people.

It's getting tot he point where I want a virtual reality goggle headset and glove combo where i can lay back in my bed in a horizontal position and use the gloves to work a virtual keyboard and mouse in the virtual environment in the headset which has a nice view in it of my screen.

Tell me you don;t want that? :2cool:

Im not totally sure that this could work. How would the program distinguish whether or not the text is a link? IE - blahblahblah.the - simple none break of a sentence. But still could be misconstruded as a link. Cool idea, but not sure it would feasably work. If there is a prog such as this, I forsee many bugs!
