For all those apps not using OSC 8 (too bad), it would be nice to provide an automatic URL detection that makes it possible to click those links in Contour.

Implementation details

Ideally I wanted that feature to be implemented as extension (#398). Depending on when that can happen, maybe we just provide it builtin.

This should not be part of the backend but rather the contour frontend.

You'll probably want something similar to what Windows Terminal does with the DirectWrite renderer.

microsoft/terminal#7691 but there are other hyperlink PRs before and afterwards to improve things, both on VT and UI side.
