search web for highlighted text feature? #10175

Description

@junefranklin

would be nice to highlight some terminal output and right click -> search in browser and it would just send whatever you highlighted to your default web browser.

would also be nice to have a "search stackoverflow" function, I was using google colab and when you get an error in that, it gives you a button that offers to search stackoverflow for you. might be nice to have a thing that detects text in your terminal looking like it might be an error message and offering the user a button to search web for that text. picture attached is what that looks like on colab.

so that button sends you here..

pretty simple little tool, but makes a world of difference.
