Make non-href'ed links openable in new tab etc by key short cut

Sometimes web pages contain effective links (i.e. something like http://www.foo.bar.com) without this being encoded in html, so it is not directly clickable. Instead of going the procedure

1. select link text 2. Ctrl-C 3. New tab 4. Focus in address bar 5. Ctrl-V 6. Return

it would be nice to rather do

1. select link text 2. Ctrl-...

and the link opens already in a new tab. Here "..." should be a carefully chosen letter on the keyboard.
