lynx allows you to follow links via its footnote system.

The last time I tried to install w3m-mode I found its
installation process to be inscrutable.  Did I need apel or MULE
or ... ?  Admittedly that was a while ago, but it did not give me
the feeling that I ought to make VM rely upon it then.

The external w3m application itself installed with no grief and
has performed fine for me.  There doesn't seem to be a way to
follow links after text/html/to text/plain conversion if you use
it, however.
