SUMMARY

I very frequently use the plasma-nm widget to find out the IP of the default gateway and open it in the browser.
It would be super handy to have a button to open the default gateway of a network in the default browser.

Currently workflow:
1. Click the tray icon
2. Click the connected network
3. Switch to the details Tab
4. Right-click and copy the IP of the gateway
5. Open a browser
6. Paste the IP and go

Preferred 2-click workflow - Button next to "disconnect" :
1. Click the tray icon
2. Click the "open gateway" button

3-Click workflow - Button in actions pane (alongside Show Network QR) :
1. Click the tray icon
2. Click the connected network
2. Click the "open gateway" button

Maybe we could make the text a clickable link.

Sure, that could work too.
