Currently left-clicking on the hyperlinks doesn't take me to the link.
(RET works though)

Please enable left mouse clicks.

I'd like to, but I don't know how.  This is how the local keymap is
defined:

(defvar shr-map
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))

[...]

    (define-key map [follow-link] 'mouse-face)

What's the real way to define mouse actions these days?

C-u C-x = on Orgmode links shows this:


    (keymap
     (follow-link . mouse-face)
     (mouse-3 . org-find-file-at-mouse)
     (mouse-2 . org-open-at-mouse))


Define keymap

    (defvar org-mouse-map (make-sparse-keymap))
    (org-defkey org-mouse-map [mouse-2] 'org-open-at-mouse)
    (org-defkey org-mouse-map [mouse-3] 'org-find-file-at-mouse)

Mouse click handlers.

    (defun org-open-at-mouse (ev)
      "Open file link or URL at mouse.
    See the docstring of `org-open-file' for details."
      (interactive "e")
      (mouse-set-point ev)
      (org-open-at-point))

    (defun org-find-file-at-mouse (ev)
      "Open file link or URL at mouse."
      (interactive "e")
      (mouse-set-point ev)
      (org-open-at-point 'in-emacs))

Ok; I've now bound [mouse-2] in shr.

But this bug report is about the left mouse click, and that's mouse-1,
isn't it?  does the special follow-link thing do magic with remapping
mouse-2 to mouse-1?

Middle click follows the link.

Yes.

Left click does NOT work in eww buffers.  (i.e., the bug is still open)

Left click still opens Org links - which look like so [[org link]] - in
Org buffers.  I am unable to quickly figure out what Org does specially
which eww misses.

Another thing I noticed: When mouse house over an link in an Org or a
Help buffer, the link's color changes.  In case of eww, this
color-changing doesn't happen.

If you do this, Left click works.  I have validated this experimentally
i.e., I haven't looked at docstring or info manual etc.

See mouse-1-click-follows-link and mouse-on-link-p.
(Basically, put the 'follow-link property on links.)
