An apparently little known function in SciTE is that Open Selected Filename function 
(which I usually call with Ctrl+Shift+O with the caret on the path) in the File menu is 
able to open URLs.
In other words, what you ask for is mostly built in SciTE (but no double-click facility 
here): click in the URL and hit Ctrl+Shift+O and the URL will open in the associated 
browser (associated at Windows level, ie. using the default browser/FTP client/etc.).
If the URL has some special chars (eg. parameters), you can select it manually before 
using Open Selected.
I coded this facility quite a long time ago, and it is documented (tersely) in the last 
line of the Open Selected Filename section of SciTEDoc.
