       -socks5_proxy=URL
              (Via  which)  SOCKS5  proxy  to  connect:  any  network  traffic,
              including all DNS resolutions but the one for URL itself, will be
              redirected  through  the  SOCKS5  proxy.   URL  may  be  given as
              “proxy.example.com”, “proxy.example.com:1080”, “192.168.0.1”,  or
              “192.168.0.1:1080” (and IPv6 notation if so supported).  A SOCKS5
              proxy   may  also  be  specified  via  the  environment  variable
              SOCKS5_PROXY.  This option controls the builtin  SOCKS5  support,
              which is unrelated to the option -nosocks.

lynx supports using a SOCKS proxy.
The TOR client (not the TOR browser bundle) offers a service
permanently running on localhost TCP port 9050. See /etc/tor/torrc for
configuring the listening addresses and port and also the machines that
are allowed to connect if you want to use the TOR service on another
computer in your network.

The TBB starts another TOR client on 9150 when running, but will stop
when TBB closes.

Here is an example:
lynx
-socks5_proxy="127.0.0.1:9150" 
http://2gzyxa5ihm7nsggfxnu52rck2vv4rvmdlkiu3zzui5du4xyclen53wid.onion/index.html

The onion URL you posted is old and not supported anymore.
