Okay, I've taken a look at gnus-cache and gotten somewhat confused.
I'm not sure if there's a way to refer to cached articles by their
message ID. Please see if the following function works:

(defun planner-gnus-browse-url (url)
  "If this is a Gnus URL, jump to it."
  (when (string-match "^gnus://\\(.+\\)/\\(.+\\)" url)
    (let ((group (match-string 1 url))
          (article (match-string 2 url)))
      (unless (and (fboundp 'gnus-alive-p)
                   (gnus-alive-p))
        (gnus-unplugged))
      (switch-to-buffer "*Group*")
      (gnus-group-jump-to-group group)
      (gnus-group-select-group)
      (when (fboundp 'gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles)
        (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles))
      (gnus-summary-goto-article article))))

but it's a wild stab in the dark as I haven't set up a proper testing
environment yet... <sheepish grin>
