This is what works for me in gnome-terminal:
URL detection[edit]
GNOME Terminal parses the output and automatically detects snippets of
text that appear to be URLs or email addresses.[2] When a user points
to a URL, the text is automatically underlined, indicating that the
user may click. Upon clicking, the appropriate application will open to
access that resource.

Of course, the phrase "the appropriate application will open" is kind of a mixture
of wishful thinking and convenient simplification, though it should
normally be your default browser.
