In general, I think it should be easier to go from buftui → the BSR UI, because I doubt buftui will ever be as fully-featured as the actual UI, and while it's nice to browse about in the TUI a user will ultimately end up in a situation where they want to get to the analogous view in the UI. There's a few things we can do to make this easier:

• Most views should support an o (open) action that uses the browser package to open the most relevant URL to the view at that time. (edit: split off to Add "Open Browser" support #73)
• We may also want to support something like a y (yank), l (link), or c (copy) verb to just copy the URL to the clipboard instead; I lean towards y since it's less likely to clash with other verbs, but maybe not.
• Lastly, it'd be nice if the TUI supported OSC 8 hyperlinks for things, although I'm a little fuzzier on this; if we did this, we'd remove the ability for mouse clicks to do things within buftui (e.g. clicking on a table row opens the row). Maybe just for things like headings, but that'd mean we'd probably want to also change our headings to at least vaguely look like links or references for discoverability (think changing Modules (Owner: xyz) → buf.build/<xyz> and that link opening https://buf.build/<xyz>).
  • Looks like OSC 8 should be supported in a future version of lipgloss
