Question: Is it possible to open the path under the cursor without first selecting the path?

Is it necessary to select a path first, or can the plugin infer the path based on the cursor's location?

Honestly that would be the most useful feature, I don't understand why they haven't even implemented this prior to selection.

Edit: I found an easy way, you can install copycat plugin.
Once it's installed you can use <prefix> ctrl-u to select URLs (use n to jump between links).
