To get something to fire once the process completes, you could latch
onto magit-process-sentinel (or magit-process-finish, which is called by
magit-process-sentinel).  For example, something like

  (defun my/magit-open-pr-after-push (process event)
    (when (and (memq (process-status process) '(exit signal))
               (= (process-exit-status process) 0))
      (let ((buf (process-buffer process))
            (section (process-get process 'section)))
        (when (buffer-live-p buf)
          (with-current-buffer buf
            (message "%s"
                     (buffer-substring-no-properties
                      (oref section content)
                      (oref section end))))))))
  
  (advice-add 'magit-process-sentinel :after #'my/magit-open-pr-after-push)

where (message ...) is replaced by code that calls browse-url if a PR
link is found.

You may want to also advise the particular magit-push-* command you use
to process-put a flag so the output search isn't triggered for other
async Magit commands.
