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.

It seems that it is doable with vscode.window.registerTerminalLinkProvider.

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.
