Headerbar navigation

[Alexander Stippich]

Hi Diego,

I think this would be a nice addition. Regarding the implementation, signals 
should be the way to go, e.g. create openArtist(var) and openAlbum(var) 
signals and wire that up to the ViewManager like you said. Clicking the title 
could open the "Now playing" view.

Best regards,
Alex
