On Windows, when the following lines are in vimrc, the stuff below the
cursor can be opened with the default browser by hitting "\x" (below,
the "essential" characters that come after noremap need to be in the
same line):

"eXecute string below cursor
nnoremap \x :silent !start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler <cWORD>
" eXecute string below cursor after prepending it with path to file
nnoremap \xp :silent !start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
%:p:h/<cWORD>
