Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be very convenient to be able to open a file (in its default associated application) or folder (in Windows Explorer) from the terminal's output by clicking this very file or folder path.

E.g. I've got a script compiling a complex project. Then MSBuild outputs an error in one of the projects. I know what the error is about, but I have to open the file myself via finding the open application (or opening one), finding/opening the file. Instead, I could just click the disk path, it would open the file immediately and I will do the necessary correction.

@zadjii-msft - just to make sure that the discussion in #7562 covers this one: we are not talking about another URI scheme - the idea is to allow clicking on the file path (aka no URI scheme)
