[konsole] [Bug 379294] Implement OSC 8 hyperlink support

[Martin Sandsmark]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379294

--- Comment #7 from Martin Sandsmark <martin.sandsmark at kde.org> ---
again, I was just coming up with hypothetical scenarios based on the use cases
of the proposed feature (having "magic" links in mutt seems kind of reasonable,
as does clickable files starting applications to view them). neomutt is
probably a better hypothetical target, they're a bit less conservative in what
kind of features they implement.

and I'm fairly certain konsole never implemented the escape sequences for
injecting keystrokes in the first place either (and was not susceptible to the
window title escape sequence trick either).

about the clickable filenames it's a bit off topic for this bug, but you need
to turn in on in the settings. and how konsole tracks the current directory
depends on OS and shell (if it supports OCS7), but that feature is much older,
but earlier it was just used to display the current directory in the window/tab
title.


> And you can't just blindly assume that 3-4 other components all have security issues

I think that's where you and I disagree. you could make the same argument
against sandboxing and many other defense in depth strategies.


but misunderstand me correctly; I'm not violently opposed to this, I just don't
believe the security/usefulness tradeoff is good here.
