couldn't get to the optool site yesterday but I managed it just now and I 
can happily confirm that the latest beta will allow you to hotkey from 
most major browsers to open a link in another browser *and* you can 
configure optool to recognise url's copied to the clipboard and launch 
them in any browser too.

so, simple answer to the original question is yes, optool will do it 
either by highlighting the link and clicking your (user-defined) hot key 
or by copying the url to the clipboard (from any application)

get it here:
