            Bug ID: 379294
           Summary: Implement OSC 8 hyperlink support
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: emulation
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: egmont at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

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
konsole joined the game!

this point, although might contain some useful tips):
