Description
# Description of the new feature/enhancement
In the new terminal version it allows all almost all URIs to be clickable as a link but for my use I need URIs file/http/https to be the only clickable link type while the other URIs should not be clickable and that they display only as an unsupported link.
# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I rely on the previous terminal method of not generally allowing all URIs but I understand this behavior was changed because some people prefer to make many or all URIs clickable as a link.
Can there be an option or setting introduced where the user can specify matching only certain URIs such as file:/// as a clickable link and the rest which are not matched to default to the previous behavior of showing dialog as 'This link type is currently not supported: ... ' if the user has the option configured?
Thank you
