Description

I'm using picnic to print out tables for a command line tool. On some tables, I'd like to have hyperlink support. Do you have any ideas / suggestion how to have them clickable by iTerm?

iTerms and other consoles have support for links:

```
printf '\e]8;;http://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\\n'
```

Research direction

Start by tracing picnic's table-to-text rendering entry point and compare its output with the OSC 8 escape sequence shown in the issue. Done means tables can represent hyperlinks that render as clickable links in iTerm and other terminals supporting this sequence.
