How about installing a plugin to compensate for the lack of a feature on several disconnected websites all around the world? You can't really convince every single page out there to auto-link, but I'm sure you will come across a plaintext URL now and again. I like how Safari handles it. Select the text, right-click, and select "Go to Address". I believe this works on any text in any Cocoa app as well. EDIT: I now see that Safari's behavior was mentioned in another thread before I posted.
