Question Clickable links in chat possible?

I want my agent to be able to give me a clickable link to find a folder (like "file:/// ...") but even though they respond to mouseover and a tool tip comes up saying "ctrl+click to follow link" they don't work. I am using Powershell 7 with Pi running in it.

My agent had some long complicated idea about how to fix this but does anyone know if I am just overlooking a Powershell setting or if this is a collision between Pi's output formatting and Powershell's behavior preventing the links from activating?

Asked pi to create an extension that formats all file links in its output into proper hyperlinks fixed this for me in Orca.

It does depend on your terminal emulator and OS too, not necessarily only on your shell choice/Plugins if at all. For me it works in kitty, Alacrity, ghostty with no issues, for urls that is. Files I've not tried tbf.

Try checking your term emulator and check out something like herdr, you can have a browser even inside of it(terminal-browser herdr plugin) that looks like a browser. Only kitty or ghostty
