I'm not sure what you're asking for here.

Do you want to be able to paste into Netscape a URL that appears in a
TCP stream? If so, you can do that now, at least on UNIX+X - just select
the text in the "Contents of TCP stream" window, and either

	1) clear the "Location:" field with Ctrl+U and then use the
	   middle mouse button to paste the URL, and then hit <Enter>

or

	2) paste the URL into the main Web-page window with the middle
	   mouse button.

(For reasons I don't know offhand, Ctrl+C in the "Contents of TCP
stream" doesn't copy to the clipboard, perhaps because the text widget
is read-only - I can see disabling Ctrl+X, a/k/a "Cut", and Ctrl+V,
a/k/a "Paste", but disabling Ctrl+C, a/k/a "Copy", seems a bit
excessive.)

Unfortunately, middle-mouse-button as paste-current-selection is an Xism
that's not generally available on Windows, so you may be out of luck
there if you're using Ethereal on Windows.

If you mean you want to be able to just click on a URL in the "Contents
of TCP stream" window and have a Netscape window pop up to display the
page in question, that's a bit more complicated.
