In recent times, terminals have adopted a feature which allows clients to indicate that a given portion of text is a hyperlink. See: https://github.com/Alhadis/OSC8-Adoption/ and https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda
This links can use the file://
scheme to point to local files.
If ag
included these escape codes in its output, this could be very useful for quickly interacting with results:
- Keyboard driven terminals usually have a shortcut to open such links very quickly.
- Mouse/touch oriented terminals would allow users to click/tap of files in results and interact with them.
How the files themselves are opened after human interaction depends on the terminal implementation and its configuration, so it mostly out of scope here.
