Microsoft also added the ability to click on embedded hyperlinks from within consoles.
If Windows Terminal detects an embedded hyperlink, it will now underline the text and display a tooltip if you hover the mouse over it.
To open the click, press Ctrl while clicking on the link to launch the URL in your default browser.
To test out the new hyperlink feature in Windows Terminal, you can use the following command in PowerShell as a template for your own links:
printf "\033]8;;https://www.bleepingcomputer.com\033\\Go to BleepingComputer!\033]8;;\033\\\n"
For those wishing to test out Windows Terminal Preview 1.4, you can do so by installing it from the Microsoft Store.
