cmd + click act as Acme Plumbing (Plan9)

[rschio]

Ghostty already supports cmd+click links to open the link in your default browser.

The idea I am proposing is to add a plumbing mechanism to Ghostty so the user can cmd+click on any text and if this text matches a regex it executes a shell script using the text as argument.

Possible usages:
cmd+click /tmp/my.pdf opens with Preview
cmd+click /tmp/photo.png opens with a photo editor

When you are debugging code, looking at logs you can cmd+click the file and open it with vim

/tmp/bugged_file.go:10 this is a bug!

and so on ...

This is exactly what
#4379
#2394
are

Sorry I didn't find it before.

I was waiting for the day someone opens a duplicate of #2394 that specifically calls it plumb and references Plan9, lol.

TBH I am not a heavy user of Acme, I used it only a few times, but every time I used it plumb felt so powerful, so ergonomic and yet so simple. It's UNIX at its finest.
IMO ideas like that deserve a second chance, an implementation in a modern mainstream app.
