Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I work in a location where I have suboptimal Wifi, I often get disconnected from a remote SSH host and it looks something like this in my tab/pane:

~/code/foo (fixBugA) [SIGINT]> client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset by peer

[process exited with code 255]

When this happens, it would be nice to get an option to continue in the same pane by reconnecting somehow. Maybe Windows Terminal can show a text with clickable links, something like done here: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_56#_untitled-editors-hint

I.e. it says "Do you want to relaunch with the same profile?" Where that bolded part is a link.

The reason for this feature request is that otherwise I lose my output from pane, which I might want to continue looking at if I've done a lot of commands to check things when trying to fix a bug.

This is most likely a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4379 which I missed at first, so closing this.
