Config:

```auto
$ ps -p $$ -o args,ppid
COMMAND PPID
bash 47293
$ ps -p 47293 -o args
COMMAND
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

```

This displays correctly but not clickable.

```auto
$ cat ./debug.sh
format_link="\e]8;;%s\e\\%s\e]8;;\e\\n"

help() {
    printf "%s\n" "Also see:"
    printf "$format_link" "http://example.com/foo" "foo"
    printf "$format_link" "http://example.com/bar" "bar"
    exit 0
}

help
$ ./debug.sh
Also see:
foo
bar

```

I’m somewhat blindly relying [on this](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda).

Try a supported terminal:
