REVISION SUMMARY
  Currently, this feature is hardcoded to link to the Nominatim search tool for OSM data. Example screenshot: F6363835: utgyB5b.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6363835>
  
  I'm hoping to gather some feedback on this (unfinished!) patch, specifically but not limited to:
  
  - Should we use Nominatim rather than directly linking to OpenStreetMap? (Does the former provide better search results for imprecise inputs, for instance?)
  - Should an option be provided to select other map services? (Google/Bing/etc)
  
  In my personal calendar, the simple approach used in this patch works on about 30% of the entries. Other services might fare better, but may come at the cost of the user's privacy. 30% is good enough though, and for the other entries it's still quicker to fixup the search query (turning nonstrict address formats into strict ones) than to do a manual search.
  
  TODOs:
  
  - Gather feedback
  - Add the link to other templates where applicable
