Search for some regexp that will match the start of an URL?
Something along the lines of

  \(https?\|ftp\|mailto\|gopher\|git\):

Extend with any protocol names you wish to cover.
(Gee, I haven't seen a gopher server in ages.  Do they still exist?)

Perhaps you could just search for [a-z]: and then go to the match and
try thing-at-point to see if it will recognize it as an url or not.
