That's funny because some other people swear only by keyboard shortcuts...
I am a mixed guy which uses mouse a lot (selection, drag'n'drop for copy or move) but also 
the keyboard (Ctrl+D to duplicate line or selection, classical Ctrl+F/H/G and of course 
Ctrl+C/V/X, etc.).
To each their own.

Now, to go back to topic (and Lua), you can call this functionality in the Lua handler of 
the double-click event:

  function OnDoubleClick()
    scite.MenuCommand(IDM_OPENSELECTED)
    return true	-- Don't let next handler to process event
  end

I made it work by selecting the URL and double-clicking on the http part.
Of course, it is too simplistic, a more robust implementation would extend the selection 
started by the double-click to the whole URL and check if we have indeed an URL before 
calling the MenuCommand.
