(setq browse-url-generic-program "xsel.sh" ;; replace with your script
      browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)

(defun rs-w3m-view-this-url ()
  "View the URL of the link under point.
Use `browse-url' when in a Gnus article buffer, else use
`w3m-safe-view-this-url'."
  (interactive)
  (if (string-equal gnus-article-buffer (buffer-name))
      (let ((url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor))))
	(if url
	    (browse-url url)
	  (w3m-message "No URL at point")))
    (w3m-safe-view-this-url)))
;; Map it to RET and/or <right>:
(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map (kbd "RET")     'rs-w3m-view-this-url)
(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map (kbd "<right>") 'rs-w3m-view-this-url)

Bye, Reiner.
