It would just be nice to be able to do that from the summary buffer.

I think having something like `w3m-linknum-follow'/vimperator-style
link following from the summary buffer would be awesome:

Just hit the key and all the widgets get highlighted with a number next
to them, then either typing that number or a substring of the widget
name to select, then have RET behave as usual.

Alternatively, have a key to get completing-read for all the widgets,
should be nice with ido.
