But it just occurred to me: There's no reason any ordinary
terminal emulator couldn't be written to do the same thing. A
setting for a custom regex to look for, another setting for a
command to run when the line is clicked on. That should be
about it. The user's editor would have to support some kind of
"editor --jump-to..." feature, but aside from that...well, why
the heck not?
The terminal emulator I've been using (Konsole) doesn't appear
to have anything like that, AFAICT. But I'm not really married
to Konsole. Anyone know of another terminal with a feature like
this?
Tilix supports this. You can define a custom regex and then use
the values extracted by the regex to launch an editor to load the
file at the right line number.

The screenshot shows a configuration that does this for gedit.
