Description
Eclipse JDT documentation hovers have links to navigate to a document, line X column Y or open document and select a range in it. The link is a hyperlink with some special protocol. The URL handler for this protocol is registered and handles a click as navigate to source code at a position provided in the URL.
Many LSP clients (VSCode, Atom and soon Eclipse) have support such URLs. These URL's are special for each client (vscode://, atom:// etc.).
If LSP could define some universal format for such URLs (lsp://file:///Users/abv/project/src/Main.java?line=X&column=Y) then clients can convert this URL into client specific URL and provide the behaviour described above from LSP hovers.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the language-server-protocol specification and the client-specific vscode:// and atom:// schemes, then define what a universal lsp:// URL must contain and how clients should translate it; done means the proposal is specified well enough for clients to implement consistently.
