python extension output hyperlinks

[clayms]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Directed here by @rchiodo from this StackOverflow post

To reiterate:

The code below correctly displays the hyperlinks to the Jupyter Server running remotely or locally. However, even though the mouse cursor changes from an arrow-cursor to the hand cursor, I cannot follow the link by either clicking on it or ctrl+clicking on it.

What do I need to do to be able to follow hyperlinks displayed in the VS Code Python extension's Interactive Python pane?

from IPython.display import display, Markdown
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import pandas as pd

process = Popen(['powershell', 'jupyter notebook list'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()

jupy = stdout.decode('utf-8')\
        .replace('Currently running servers:\r\n', '')\
        .strip()\
        .split('\r\n')

jupy = [item.split(' :: ')[0] for item in jupy]
# jupy = ['<a href="{}">{}</a>'.format(item, item) for item in jupy]

for link in jupy:
    display(Markdown('[{}]'.format(link)))

VS Code version: Code 1.31.1 (1b8e8302e405050205e69b59abb3559592bb9e60, 2019-02-12T02:20:54.427Z)

This likely requires our javascript to find all anchors and listen for click events.

Hopefully this sort of event bubbles and we can listen to it at the React Code level.

Here is a simpler test case to work with:

#%%
from IPython.display import display, Markdown
display(Markdown('[<a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">code.visualstudio.com</a>]'))

It displays a clickable URL, and the hover cursor is correct. But clicking or control-clicking the link does nothing.

@RossBencina, this appears to work with the latest extension. @clayms, your scenario does not.

[rchiodo]

Yes this doesn't work for @clayms's case yet.
