I don't know a direct way and am afraid there is no one immediately
ready to use.
Once the text is selected, however, you may fairly easily copy it to a
new window, and then rightclicking should work, even with a
wrap-around...

Otherwise, using '>g pattern' will make a list, in the Error window,
of lines where the pattern is, so then you can go through it.
