Terminal.hyperlinkCheckEvent

Returns a nonempty string: the target of the explicit hyperlink (printed using the OSC 8 escape sequence) at the position of the event, or %NULL.

Proper use of the escape sequence should result in URI-encoded URIs with a proper scheme like "http://", "https://", "file://", "mailto:" etc. This is, however, not enforced by VTE. The caller must tolerate the returned string potentially not being a valid URI.
