Description
Some command d(ex : mvn quarkus:dev) are launched with the terminal. The terminal could display some stacktrace:

It should be nice if we could open the Java type, method, field with hyperlink.

Research direction
Start with the VS Code TerminalLinkProvider API and the linked vscode-xtext-links sample in extension.ts. Determine how terminal Java stack traces should identify types, methods, and fields, then verify that each displayed link opens the corresponding Java symbol; the issue does not mention a repository file or test to run.
