Middle click follows the link.

Yes.

Left click does NOT work in eww buffers.  (i.e., the bug is still open)

Left click still opens Org links - which look like so [[org link]] - in
Org buffers.  I am unable to quickly figure out what Org does specially
which eww misses.

Another thing I noticed: When mouse house over an link in an Org or a
Help buffer, the link's color changes.  In case of eww, this
color-changing doesn't happen.
