No, since then I would lose the ability to browse with the enter key
still in w3m. Or do I misunderstand?

To recap : I would like another w3m function which allows me to
"browse-url" (and thus firefox)  for an embedded link. Or is it already
there?

At the moment I "print url" and then paste it into browse-url
