While I think the fix reasonable, I'd suggest that follow-link should,
when feasible, try to map through a mouse event. Link-like fields
sometimes have an interactive spec not containing "@" which means that
they will not switch the selected window while doing their action
through a mouse click. A translation to a mouse event can keep those
semantics; a translation to a keyboard event does not seem to make
sense without changing the selected window.
So as a rule of thumb, follow-link should probably not revert to a
keyboard event when this can be avoided in favor of an interactive
form or event intended for the mouse. In particular when mouse-2 does
not do "@" in its interactive spec.
