Not necessarily!  I'm less familiar with Tin, but SLRN has a keybinding
that shows you a numbered list of URLs it identified in the body of a
post (by regex, I assume), and you can choose to follow them.  SLRN
opens up the URL in a console web browser or XWindows browser; the SLRN
config file lets you specify one for each scenario.  I find it a very
effective way to browse the news, and of course links, lynx, and w3m
(etc) are lightning fast because they ignore graphics, javascript, etc.

I assume Tin has something similar.  If not, perhaps you could pipe it
to a shell script of some sort?
