I just had another look at the code.  If I understand it correctly, you
hit `f', numbers are assigned to the links, and then you enter the
number of the link you want to visit?

I'm afraid I don't find this compelling functionality.  Anything that
makes me read numbers from the screen and then type them in doesn't seem
like something a lot of people would want to do when they can just mouse
or tab to the link.
