If it is a fully-qualified URL, you can select it and control-click and the menu will say "Go to address". Unfortunately, Safari won't admit that "www.acme.com" is a URL; it insists on having the "http: //" there before it will grudgingly admit that it is a URL.
All you can do in the case of a URL that does not have the "http: //" is highlight it, control-click and choose Google Search, which will have as its only result the website URL which you can then click. The whole thing is stupid design, IMO.
Application menu = second menu from left. Has the name of the current application. Look in there, and you'll find...
Services submenu = holds a number of actions that various applications 'publish' that they're available to perform. Note the 'Open URL' item.
Highlight the URL you want to open in Safari, while in *any application*, and then go to the Application menu -> Services -> Open URL, and it will be opened in a new window in Safari, if at all possible.
