+URLM_OPEN [<arg>] - Open URL using "best" browser for the URL
+
+Alternate command name: UO
+
+Opens a URL according to the following rules:
+
+- If the URL's file extension (e.g. .zip) is found in urlm_wget_extensions,
+ the URL is downloaded with wget. (wget is run in an irssi window, so
+ you can monitor its progress)
+
+- Otherwise, if the URL matches any of the patterns in urlm_browser_overrides,
+ the URL is opened with the matching browser. (This is useful in cases
+ where e.g. you have Firefox as the default browser, but want all
+ youtube.com pages to open in Internet Explorer). See the
+ /urlm_add_override and /urlm_del_override commands for details.
+
+- Otherwise, the default browser (urlm_default_browser setting) is used.
+
+If <arg> is omitted, the default is to open the most recently captured URL.
+If <arg> is provided, it must be a single numeric URL number (from the
+output of /UL). Negative numbers are allowed, and are interpreted as
+counting from the end of the list (so -1 means the second most recent
+captured URL).
+
+Note: you do not need to define wget as a browser. urlmanager will use
+its own internal wget support to run wget in a window if the file
+extension is listed in urlm_wget_extensions.
