The double click behavior doesn't care about URLs at all. It considers certain characters as part of a word, certain others are not. There were many debates specifically around whether ':' should be a word character or not by default.
Unfortunately the setting is not available on the UI; see https:/ /bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 730632# c33 for how to set this hidden value.
