Turn arbitrary text into a hyperlink

Turn arbitrary text into a hyperlink

As of Windows Terminal Preview 1.4 (I think) you can Ctrl+click on text that matches a URL and it will open in a browser. This feature request would be to match on certain text and turn that into a clickable link using some of the text as a parameter.

Example

Let's say the following is on the terminal, from the output of git log

Fixes issue in T1234

I would like to setup a regex \b(T\d+)\b and when I Ctrl+click on T1234, open up https://example.com/tasks/T1234.

I would like this to be configured in settings.json something like

"arbitrarylinks": [
    {
        "pattern": "\\b(T\\d+)\\b",
        "link": "https://example.com/tasks/$1"
    }
]

Not OSC-8

This is not OSC-8. I don't have the ability to re-write text so OSC-8 can't be used. My use case is primarily source control logs.

Alright so I've moved this discussion to #8849, because we're gonna make this a general-purpose solution to both problems. Thanks!
