Keyboard Shortcut to Open Hyperlink

[layo]

I want to open a link using a keyboard shortcut. If the cursor is placed next to or within a link (as in the yellow sticky note in attached), I want to be able to press Control + H to open the link.

I got as far as making the attached macro. But instead of moving and clicking relative to the mouse position, I need to be able to move and click relative to the cursor position. Is there a way to do this?
