I believe this feature was scrapped for column selection which uses 
Command-click.  The release notes may say if it was changed to something 
else, but I think it was removed.

If you can get to contextual menus (with control-click.) then Apple Data 
Detectors will get you to the internet.

They are at:

Apple Data Detectors are an insanely great secret of the Macintosh. They 
are free. Check them out.

   Yeah! I love it!  And it used to work on this machine under Pro 5.3.

   Same machine, same OS, doesn't work on Pro 6.  Still works in BBEdit 
though.
