Research direction
Reproduce the IPv6-link case in Windows Terminal using echo http://[::1]/ and compare it with a regular link. No source file or test is named, so start by locating the terminal link-detection and Ctrl+Click handling entry points. Done means IPv6 links underline, show the Ctrl+Click tooltip, and open when followed.
