## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
News, Feeds, and HN items already carry URLs that are clickable via `app.open_link`. Add a keyboard path: when an item is selected (via arrow keys), pressing `o` or `Enter` opens its URL in the default browser.

Implementation:
- In the item-navigation layer (from TASK-007), store the URL alongside each selectable item
- Bind `o` (and `Enter` where it won't conflict) to `app.open_url(selected_item.url)`
- Show a brief toast notification: "Opening: {title[:50]}"
- Items without URLs (e.g. calendar events, todos) do nothing on `o` / show a "no link" toast

Depends on: TASK-007 (keyboard-navigable items)

- [ ] #3 Items without URLs show a graceful no-op or message
