Description
When running the application in run or debug mode, or when executing tests, it would improve the user experience if users could navigate to classes directly from the Debug Console using Ctrl+Click. A similar functionality is already available when logs are displayed in the terminal.

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing Ctrl+Click navigation for logs displayed in the terminal with the Debug Console behavior during application runs, debugging, and test execution. Trace the VS Code Java extension's Debug Console integration and define done as navigating to referenced classes from console output with Ctrl+Click in all three cases.
