Descrizione
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Enable clickable links for file references in Copilot CLI responses, allowing users to directly open files from highlighted references.
Copilot CLI already detects and highlights file references (e.g., @vscode/l10n, contextKeyExpr.test.ts, compile-production) in blue, implying interactivity. However:
These references are not clickable
Users must manually search or navigate to the file
This introduces friction, especially in large repositories
From the screenshot:
Multiple file/module references are clearly recognized and styled
Despite visual affordance, there is no direct navigation action
The experience is inconsistent with user expectations from IDEs and terminals with link support
### Proposed Solution
Extend file reference detection to support clickable links that open the referenced file.
**Supported interactions**
Click or Cmd/Ctrl + click → open in new tab
### Example prompts or workflows
_No response_
### Additional context
_No response_

Direzione di ricerca
Start by locating the Copilot CLI entry point that detects and highlights file references in responses. Trace how those references are rendered, then verify that clicking or Cmd/Ctrl-clicking a reference opens the referenced file in a new tab; the work is done when highlighted references support the proposed navigation interaction.
