It's not perfect, but it works.

I added the following settings in .xressources:

URxvt.perl-ext-common:    default,matcher 
URxvt.url-launcher:       st -e lynx $0 
URxvt.keysym.C-Delete:    matcher:select 
URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\b(\\w+\\:\\/\\/\\S+)\\b

Links are now underlined, and
control-delete activates the select mode, enter launches the 
application to open the link. I don't know if it's possible
to open a link in the same instance of lynx.  

Thanks for the tip Ben, I don't see it as a replacement for
having gophermaps everywhere, but it has the merit of existing.

It also got me off ghostty :-)
