In Settings > MISC. > Clickable Link Settings, check Enable. Reload Notepad++ document to show underlined links. Double-click underlined links to launch in default web browser.

(Using Notepad++ 5.8.4)

This is probably not Notepad++ behaviour, although it works with Notepad++ ....

I have WordWeb (Dictionary/Thesaurus - Free version) installed and this provides the shortcut/hotkey CTRL + Right Click (in any application) and it looks that word up in the WordWeb dictionary. Another side effect of this seems to be that if the word is a URL it appears to open it in your default browser - although I've not seen this feature documented. Like I say, this affects every application, including plain old Notepad.
