Description of the new feature/enhancement

If the terminal shows a file with it's full path, it would be handy if you could simply click it, like you can do with URLs.

For example, I executed a NPM command within my PowerShell 7.1.0 and it showed me

Then I want to open this file to get further information. Right now, I have to copy this file path and open it with the explorer or with code <filePath>.
I'd like to click on it and it opens in my default editor (e.g. Visual Studio Code)
