I am creating Log-Reports which are viewable through the Web-browser. Is there an easy way to make links clickable in Linux Terminal? (Gnome-Terminal)
I am copying those links and manually open my web-browser to achieve that right now.

Method 1
Newer version of GNOME terminal now support hyperlinks with custom target via certain escape sequences. Try
echo -e 'e]8;;http://example.comaThis is a linke]8;;a'
Opening these works the same way as described in the answer by Stephen Kitt.

Method 2
If the links are output as full URLs, they should be clickable when you hover over them (with the mouse pointer) while holding Ctrl down.
