Description
GNOME Terminal (VTE) and iTerm2 have just implemented a brand new and hopefully really cool feature: hyperlinks (that is, HTML-like anchors).
This is different from the autodetection of URLs that appear onscreen. This time the text that appears does not have to look like a URL, it can be anything, and the target URL is specified explicitly by the utility along with the displayed text, using the OSC 8 escape sequence.
We'd like to get some wider support for this feature, and it would be great if kitty joined the game!
