Would it be possible to put an underline for files that can be opened? #20

I think this is super useful. I love to open files at point. I see that you're supporting underlining hyperlinks to URLs in shell. Would be useful if I could do the same for files too!

And this package is super useful already. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm thrilled you're finding it useful. :) I use opening files at point a ton too -- the output of a git status, or running a find (or :find).

My first reaction to this was that there's no real regular expression that can identify filenames in the text stream. Checking the files in the current directory and dynamically highlighting them might be a bit slow, but there may be a way to implement it so that it's not horribly slow. It's worth prototyping, so I'll keep this issue open as a reminder.

Cheers! I'm leaving this here in case you haven't seen it before: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50618116/regex-for-finding-file-paths

Might try to do this myself but I don't know elisp. Maybe I'll try this over the weekend.
