To be clearer, what I mean is that using Tkinter or some other toolkit
you can indeed place links on a GUI form or window. But this has
nothing to do with a terminal emulator or console (meaning the display
of standard-out bytes).
Using your understanding of the word, console, Tkinter could be used to
create a console of your own that displays the output from other
processes and implements clickable hyperlinks, but Tkinter itself does
not display using standard out, and thus cannot cause a terminal
emulator or Windows console to display hyperlinks in a clickable fashion.
