Description

Wezterm allows clicking on links to then invoke xdg-open to open the URL in question. Interactive khal disables this functionality. Additionally, normal mouse based copy and paste don't work. Would it be possible to add these features or, alternatively, add a flag to disable mouse support so that ikhal doesn't get in the way of normal mouse semantics?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in ikhal running under WezTerm, checking link clicks and mouse-based copy and paste. Inspect the existing mouse-support entry point and determine whether normal terminal mouse semantics can coexist with it or whether a flag is needed; done means the requested behavior works or mouse support can be disabled.
