OSC8 hyperlink support in ncurses

[Dusty Mabe]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has ever requested OSC8 hyperlink support [1] in ncurses
before. There are several applications built on ncurses that could benefit from
being able to embed hyperlinks such as weechat [2]. My specific use case that is
of interest is when someone uses markdown formatting like [link 
here](http://example.com)
in a chat with me (weechat) then I'd like only the text "link here" to show up
but the terminal would know and a mouse click would enable me to open the link.

Of course, some of that use case I just described would be on weechat to 
implement,
but from what I understand there is some foundational support needed in ncurses 
[3]
before weechat could implement such a feature.

Anyways, thanks for the work over time on ncurses (I love many TUIs) and I 
appreciate
any time you spend responding to this.
