This isn't quite what I'm talking about.
I want to be able to place my cursor inside *any* given quote pair, hit a keyboard shortcut, and have everything between the quotes selected. I just gave "href" as an example.
command-F Find : (?<=href\=")[^"]+ Regular expression Next Manually replace the address selected command-G to select next match

There's no such thing as native functionality -- I plan to make the “select to enclosing braces” a little smarter, but for now what you can do is:
Automation / Start Macro Recording Find (no options) previous: " (this selects the " to the left of the caret) Press arrow left (to move caret in front of it) Find (enable regexp) next: ".*?" (this should select the entire string) Automation / Stop Macro Recording
Now select Automation / Save Scratch Macro and give it whatever key you like. In addition you can provide a scope, which is like a CSS selector for where this macro should work, so e.g. if you give it scope “string” you could bind it to cmd-shift B, and inside strings, TextMate will use your macro to select strings, but outside, you'll get the standard “Select Enclosing Brackets” function (which for HTML also selects <tags>).

So, record a macro with : Find : (?<=")[^"]+ {or Find : (?<=')[^']+ depending on the type of quotes you use}
in it and link it to a key equivalent
