Description

> How hard would it be to add a link to the docs (like, to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-advanced#profile-termination-behavior) to that infobar? We could generate the fwlink if needed

In any case suggest to do it in a follow up. I can open a ticket for it.. and proceed with it if the team is interested.
