I took a look at this page:

http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#sending-text-through-custom-commands

It's not written very clearly (sorry, devs!). Here's a more clear set
of instructions that should get it working for you:

1) Left-click the Edit menu.
2) Left-click on Preferences.
3) Left-click on Tools.
4) Paste this into the Context action box: firefox "http://www.php.net/%s"
5) Left-click the Apply button.
6) Left-click the OK button.

Now you can select any text in Geany, right-click, and choose Context
Action from the menu. It will run that action, replacing the %s with
the selected text.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for asking about this. I had no idea Geany
could do that. (:
