I have wanted for years a context menu entry that opens the selected text as a URL in a new tab. This would be incredibly useful to visit raw URLs in text on web pages. As it is, I have to copy the URL and paste it into the menu bar after creating a new tab. What a lot of tedious work for something that I do often.
