Hi lynx-dev,
Lynx's mouse behavior is pretty sensitive. Left click on a link hightlights it, as well as follows it. I tried remapping MOUSE keymap but lynx does not allow that. It would be nice to have a config option to specify mouse left click behavior (goto a link, but don't follow it), or an ability to remap MOUSE. w3m also just selects a link on mouse click. It would be useful to have this behavior for multiple reasons, including: while screencasting from a page, one can highlight a link by simply clicking on it.
Clicking around a link does select it without following, but if there are many links on a busy webpage it is not possible to click and highlight a link that is surrounded by other links on all sides.
