As nospam wrote, clicking on the news URL should work.

It doesn't here.

Right click offers to open in browser, then a dialog ask to say what
application to open it with (choose other application). And it does not
suggest any by default, just the entire disk tree.


normal click, not contextual click, and the problem appears to be
thunderbird.


Yes, but the point is that not every NNTP client supports locating
"news://..." URLS. And it is demonstrated.


that just means you're using a broken news client. replace it with a
better one.
