Clickable links in terminal output

Question

My python program outputs a set of url links. When I run this on pycharm, I can directly click on the links and that will open them up in the browser. However, when I run the python file by double clicking on the .py file, the links are not clickable. I want the links to be clickable so it takes me to the browser directly. Please support solutions with explanations as I am still learning. Thanks!

This is an issue of the terminal, not of Python. Evidently PyCharm's terminal supports clickable URLs but your system terminal doesn't. — jonrsharpe

Maybe you have better luck with stripping http:// or https:// from the URL. CTRL + click will open the link in some terminals. — A1rPun

As outlined above, you need to use a terminal that supports clicking of URL's.

On linux, most terminals do this. Ex Gnome-terminal, terminator etc.. On Mac, try iterm2.
