Hello om26er, that's known upstream, and it's been that way for a while, you can track it here though: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540023

according to the comments in this bug it suggests that ctrl+click is the key in gnome-terminal is the actual way to open the link. so it might turn out to be a 'won't fix' ?

seems they're going to fix it but just being slow at it, not a high priority bug though.

This is the only single complaint I have with gnome-terminal is that I cannot just left-click on links to make them open. Otherwise it would be perfect.
