Bug Description

If someone enters an obviously valid web address Slingshot should offer to open the URL in the default web browser (should respect System Settings > Applications). Something similar would be useful for email addresses.

For example type "google.com" shows an option "Open *google.com* in Midori". Or type "<email address hidden>" to show "Write mail to *<email address hidden>* with Geary".
