Subject: 30.1.50; Annotate goto-address-mode buttons with OSC-8 hyperlinks
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2025 15:37:16 -0400

In the last few years many terminal emulators have added support for an
escape sequence to indicate hyperlinks, OSC 8.  See
https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda for
documentation of it.

Other GNU projects such as coreutils have added OSC 8 support; e.g. ls
has --hyperlink.

goto-address-mode, and other kinds of URLs in Emacs, should probably
also support OSC 8, at least optionally.
