The attached patch adds a new Gnus summary buffer command, that clicks a link in the article buffer. Technically, it calls `widget-button-press' on one of the widgets in the article buffer, offering completion if there's more than one. I'm not sure I've handled all the possible values of the 'gnus-data text property, but more would be easy to add. Basically this just lets you follow a link without actually moving point or the mouse into the article buffer.
