I do that, with the external commands:

EXTERNAL:ftp:w3m %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:file:w3m %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:w3m %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:links %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:wget -r %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:ftp:netscape %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:file:netscape %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:netscape %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:ftp:chimera %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:file:chimera %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:chimera %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:ftp:opera %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:file:opera %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:opera %s:TRUE

which gives a popup menu when I press '.' or ',' for the current link or page
(there's no point in adding commands to lynx when it already can do this)
