Many terminals recognize URLs. DomTerm also recognizes 'FILENAME:LINE:COLUMN:' as in error messages emitted by many compilers. Clicking on such a link opens an editor window at the specified FILE:COLUMN position. The editor is customizable, with buitin suppport for Atom and Emacs.

Neat, I've never seen the link support from there before.

And yes, I wasn't arguing in favour of using a full HTML DOM, but that potentially some simplicity-favouring middle-ground might allow new and interesting features. As you've just demonstrated :P

The overhead of an HTML DOM for terminal text is substantial and unfortunate - but does it matter once you have a few browser tabs displaying typical "modern" web pages?

Oh my God, how did I not know this? This is extremely useful.
