Hi,

I wanted that feature too, but I don't want a quick & dirty hack. :-)

So I modified the TerminalView so that he can recognize and highlight links.

The feature is based on two events, one method, and two properties.

1) The event "Link": it is raised while the mouse cursor is moving. It 
gives you the contents of the current line, the position of the 
character under the mouse cursor inside that line.

Note that it takes into account line wrapping.

2) The "Link" property: the event arguments are stored in that property, 
which is just a class with public properties or variables.

3) The method "Select()" of the Link property:  You must call it during 
the Link event to tell which part of the current line is a link. You can 
associate an arbitrary link type (a string) that will be passed to the 
"Click" event.

4) The event "Click": it is raised when the user actually click on the 
link highlighted by "SelectLink()".

5) The "ShowLink" property: it toggles link management. By default link 
management is disabled.

By default the TerminalView will recognize "http" and "https" URLs, and 
will open them if the 'gb.desktop' component has been loaded by your 
project.

Note: if you don't want URLs to be recognized, you have to detect them 
yourself during the Link event and cancel the event without calling 
Link.Select().

Finally I modified the IDE so that class + method + line positions are 
recognized.

Enjoy!
