The GUI consoles I have are in Pycharm, the IDLE that comes with Anaconda, and 
Spyder. PyCharm and IDLE both ask for internet access when I open them, so 
they're capable of opening links, but whether that means their output space is 
capable of handling clickable links I don't know.

I do know printing a full url with the %s specifier or entering a url and 
clicking enter just gives you the plain text url. Obviously, not all GUI 
consoles are enabled recognize and make clickable links from
correctly formatted urls.

I was hoping there was some functionality in python to make clickable links. 
Could be a package, if the core language doesn't have it.
