Hyperlinks in Terminal Emulators

Raw

🔗 Hyperlinks in terminal

Modern terminals support hyperlinks, which are quite convenient, and can be opened with Ctrl + click or Cmd + click

Here's a simple command to try out the feature. The result is equivalent to this HTML link: This is a link

echo -e "\e]8;;https://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\"

You can also use the function to create links:

hyperlink() {
    echo -e "\e]8;;$1\e\\$2\e]8;;\e\\"
}

hyperlink "https://example.com" "Text with hyperlink"
