Direct link to content in left pane

The older (single pane) version of hnmobile used to open links by default. And it offered a second link to the comments. I'd like that sort of behavior in the new version.

Possible ideas:
1. Same as previous version. Title links to content. "n comments" links to comments
2. Create a small url icon/text which links to the content.
3. Offer a forced way to visit the iphone version

Opening the comments first feels weird, because as a reader I have no context for the comments.
