When use IE7,What would really be nice is to have a context selection
that when a person puts a URL into a document but does not hyper link
it, would allow you to highlight it, right click and have a selection
like "Go to URL of opera MenuExt",Who can help to do it?

You would perhaps have better luck getting such a feature implemented
in a community-developed, open-source browser such as Mozilla Firefox
or SeaMonkey, as opposed to a closed-source proprietary one such as IE.

In fact, what you want can probably be implemented as a GreaseMonkey
script for Firefox (and maybe there's even one already out there).

Here's a bookmarklet I created with your design specs;
it works in msie 6; I don't have 7 to test it in. Also, it fails
in Firefox probably due to the document.selection aspect.

It should work just fine in your ie 7 links tool bar though!
here's the code: copy & paste to create a new html file.
then drag the link created up into your links tool bar.
if you then select a valid url in a web page then click the
bookmarklet,
it will take you to that link.

hope this helps! -Jim

here are some links to use in testing the bookmarklet: 
http://www.yahoo.com 
http://www.google.com
<hr><hr>
Go to VIEW >> TOOLBARS >> LINKS to display your links toolbar in MSIE.
 
Once it is there, drag the link below up and drop it on the tool bar.
this should create the bookmarklet. 

Then, highlite or select the text on a web page that you think may be a
URL. 
After selecting it, click on the bookmarklet you just created in the
tool bar. if the text is a properly 

formed URL, the window location should re-direct and go to that link.
 

The bookmarklet link is here: 

<a
href="javascript:(function(){seltex=document.selection;if(seltex.type
== 'Text'){seltextlink =seltex.createRange();linker =
seltextlink.text+'';self.location=linker;}})();">Goto URL
BookMarklet</a>
</body>
