Sometimes you can edit that URL into something lynx can execute. I have
seen quite a few instances of a standard http: hyperlink wrapped up in a
javascript:. When this happens, the havascript typically quotes the
hyperlink in single quotes, so that I am able to trim off the beginning
and end and execute it that way.

Obviously, were this something I would use over and over, I'd edit the
source page in my own permanent copy and execute from my version.
