Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In some Wikis, such as Wikivoyage, one or more location coordinates are available in many articles. In Wikivoyage for instance, Kiwix shows a square icon (a location icon) in various colours with a depiction of Earth within the square, to identify that location coordinates have been specified within an article, though nothing can be done with that information, as touching these location icons does not appear to do anything.

Describe the solution you'd like
Clicking these location coordinates would be much more useful if the user could touch the location icon and the user was prompted to choose an external mapping app (e.g. Google Maps, OsmAnd, etc) on the device to view the coordinates.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Much less convenient, but still useful as an alternative would be to copy the coordinates if the user touches on the location icon, so that the user could paste that info to view the coordinates in another app (e.g. Google Maps).

Additional context
An example of an article with these location icons is Wikivoyage (English) in the North America article, under the Cities heading. In the Wikivoyage article itself (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/North_America), there are location coordinates for each city, which within Wikivoyage cause a map to be loaded.
