Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?

The upcoming addon manager does not allow users to read on about details of those addons.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some way, the user can access the website (whenever available or appropriate) of an addon. Be it a button on the right side, under "install" or a right click menu or a column with a clickable link.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe it is tricky for the file checker or some bundle of things, where you could point to documentation about the components, instead.

I am open to all these ways. To me there is no preferred way, which is why I did not suggest a specific method. In any case Sandman will present them with a dialog to ask if they want to open a browser sandboxed or not, showing the URL so the user know where they will end up. If that would not be the case, I'd prefer to know where I get to, when I choose to open the website, so a column with a link would ensure that.

Since I have no idea, what is easier to implement, works for most people and is desirable from a UI perspective, I can't say what approach should be taken.
