Hi

I think C-c RET works to follow the link. At least that seems to do the
same as clicking it.

I agree that just RET would be nice, but also would like the links to be
treated as buttons so next-button (ie TAB) would stop at them. What do
other people think?

(I have a preliminary implementation that does this)

Best wishes

Mark
