I think it's quite useful to include hyperlink support in URxvt.

An example hyperlink is the following, which is equivalent to the HTML link <a href="http://example.com"; rel="nofollow">This is a link</a>.

|printf '\e]8;;http://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\\n' |

My personal use-case is to click links to open `grep` results in my GUI text editor..

There's a list of terminal emulators supporting this feature up to 2020/05/31: [Hyperlinks in Terminal Emulators](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda).

Quite a few of them support hyperlinks now, and a lot of feature requests are on-going too. Some other people there have also wished for support in URxvt.

I thought of implementing this myself in Perl as an extension, but I don't really see a way of doing so per https://linux.die.net/man/3/urxvt-mlperl.

So really looking forward to this in URxvt.

Thanks,

Steven
