There seems to be a newerish standard for embedding hyperlinks using ANSI that, if implemented, Netrunner could make clickable links to spawn the target in the OS' default browser.
If other big terminals adopt it (like terminals used by OSes) I will probably add it but its a lot more complex than just screen scraping to
For the MRC, stackfault's client could catch these easily when pasting
and wrap them in this code using a REGEX.

I think the biggest ones are using it like ITerm and Gnome shell.
That link I added has a list of them.
I was more interested in a Mystic MCI code for embedding links.
Then you could do it without the whole screen scraping. I don't
think that's really a pleasant option for finding links. Netrunner
would just catch that ANSI code as a clickable link.
One place links fly around is the MRC (relay chat). People paste
them all the time. Or in FTNs. With an MCI code, you could do
something like: PIPEHThttp://www.link.com/stuffPIPEMyLinkPIPE
I think screen scraping is a far better idea, and just use actual urls. Not only can you see what you're clicking, but it doesn't look like garbage in terminals that don't support it (with screen scraping you can
BTW, magiterm has had screen scraping urls for ages, though I don't
think it gets used much so hasn't been tested a lot, but it's there.

It would at least need a tooltip so you can verify what you're
clicking... ie seeing "Fun Times" clickable link and having it direct
you to "http://evilwebsite.com/" could be problematic.
