It is possible, just use O or T (if you want to open a new window based
on the current one's URL). If that's not on the man page, it is an

That indeed does not exist as a direct keybinding, but it is possible
using the regular commands: Type 'o', then Ctrl-v (GTK standard) to
paste from the clipboard.
