links should be recognized and clickable in buildkite logs

[nhooyr]

If a CI job wants to link you to something, would be nice UX if you could just click on it versus highlighting and copy paste or right click and go to.

You can create clickable links in Build output, but you have to be explicit about it: we support the same syntax as iTerm 2 and other terminals with link support. An example script for outputting a link can be found here: https://github.com/buildkite/terminal-to-html/blob/bc7274cbce9fb5c752c32fdb4ea267cb4260417f/link.sh

@ticky is this documented anywhere?

Not nearly as well as it should be 😉 it’s in the docs for the underlying tool, but not in our product docs. We mention embedding images, but not links. I’ve opened buildkite/docs#412 for adding it!
