ffap might be what you want.  Use emacs-w3m and you won't have to open a
new browser window/tab.

There are a couple of solutions. 

Probably the easiest is to use the browse-url package. Use M-x customize
to configure the browser you want it to use and then put something in
your .emacs file like 

(global-set-key "\C-c\C-z." 'browse-url-at-point)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zb" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zr" 'browse-url-of-region)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zu" 'browse-url)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zv" 'browse-url-of-file)

`browse-url-at-point' is the command I was looking for. Thanks, Tim.
