Description
It's a pretty regular occurrence that I use `choco` CLI to search and find packages, but if it's a package I haven't installed, I nearly always fire up the website just to look at the metadata, images, and related content. `choco info [packagename]` gives some detail, but I still give preference to the ease of viewing a formatted webpage.
Please consider adding a native feature that can bring up a package's chocolatey.org webpage via the CLI.
ex `choco web [packagename]`, `choco search [packagename] --website` or something more well thought out along those lines.
There does exist `Package url` in the `choco info` command, but it seems to be blank on all the packages I've looked at. (see issue #1728) I'm not sure if that could be put to use or made a requirement as I'm largely ignorant to technical and political background regarding the chocolatey project.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing `choco info` and `choco search` command paths, along with issue #1728 about the blank Package URL. Determine the command syntax and how a package's chocolatey.org page should be found and opened; done means a chosen CLI form reliably opens the requested package webpage.
