There are several tools for this sort of thing, which eat text on stdin and provide a curses ui for selecting contained URLs. Try urlscan:
u = pipeto 'urlscan -c 2> /dev/null'
I'm also using a custom hook to open the contained html directly i na browser:

I need a simple mechanism to open (a choice of) URLs in a message, this is my script:
!/bin/bash
TODO launch default browser? (e.g. i3-sensible-browser)
estrattore(){ grep -o 'http[s]://.' |while read url do echo -n "$url | off " done }
if ! pidof chromium then dialog --infobox "ATTENZIONE: no chromium open! (this script becomes blocking for alot)" 0 0 fi
URLS=$(estrattore)
echo $URLS
if ! test -z "$URLS" then scelta=$(mktemp) dialog --checklist URLs 0 0 0 $URLS 2> $scelta
cat $scelta
for url in $(cat $scelta) do chromium $url 2>/dev/null & done rm $scelta
fi
It uses dialog to let me tick a selection of the URLs found in msg, the it opens chromium (or whatever you want) on the selection, I have hooked it to a key:
[[thread]] 'u' = pipeto --format=decoded ~/bin/openUrls.sh

Perfect! I simply missed it ;) Trash this thread then, sorry (or leave it here as a memento)
Just FTR, I use the same custom hook also in envelope mode when I sent html mails (using pandoc)..
