[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41076] support HTML links in terminal display

[Torsten]

Update of bug #41076 (project octave):

                  Status:               Postponed => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #2:

The unix part of the terminal already provides a filter structure for matching
urls and related actions for opening or copying the urls. Attached please find
a patch for testing that allows to open urls directly via left click or via
the context menu.

The concept can also be used for opening files from error messages (bug
#35619).

I have not pushed this patch to the default branch because the windows part of
the terminal does not provide the required filter structure and I have not
tested compiling the patch for windows yet. I am wondering whether it is worth
(and possible) to merge the two different versions (unix and windows).

(file #40069)
