is it possible to configure solr to store the document URI in the

Yes. Set the field to be store and non-indexed, field type "string"
is what I use.
Or is everybody used to storing the contents of a document in the
lucene index (doesn't this imply a much larger index though?), so
instead of retrieving the document's content through a seperate
fetch over http/filesystem just show the result from the stored
content field?
This all depends on the needs of your project. Its perfectly fine to
store the text outside of the index, and that is the way it really
has to be done for very large indexes where as few fields as possible
are "stored".
If you're also asking about Solr fetching the remote resource, that
is a different story altogether, and no it does not do that. [though
with the streaming capability you can feed in a document entirely
from a URL, but I haven't experimented with that feature yet myself]
