Since there are already plans to redesign the gui console, this feature won't be implemented for the current console for windows.

I have pushed the patch with changeset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fee531225679
and changed the operating system to Windows, since the solution for Windows is still an open issue.

The unix part of the terminal already provides a filter structure for matching urls and related actions for opening or copying the urls. Attached please find a patch for testing that allows to open urls directly via left click or via the context menu.

The concept can also be used for opening files from error messages (bug #35619).

I have not pushed this patch to the default branch because the windows part of the terminal does not provide the required filter structure and I have not tested compiling the patch for windows yet. I am wondering whether it is worth (and possible) to merge the two different versions (unix and windows).

(file #40069)

This feature would be very useful in Octave to implement clickable error messages in the console, that directly lead you into the corresponding code line in the editor (see bug #35619).

in matlab,


    warning('please <a href="matlab: afunc();">click here</a>.')


displays:


    Warning: please _click here_.


where "_click here_" is an underlined link which if can click on it and it'll run afunc().
