How to write a clickable link in VS Code terminal that points to a multiline range?

Question

I want to design a program that can output a clickable path to terminal, but I can't find a way to represent a clickable path with a range.

Is there anyone who knows the answer?

When I write ./file:1:2-3:4, the range is recognized as a position ln 4.
When I write ./file:1:2:3:4, it's recognized as a position ln 3 col 4.
When I write ./file:1-3:2-4, I'll get a no matching results after I click it.

if it is run by a task you can add a problem matcher and define what is the file, line and character — rioV8

what do you want to happen with that range, set a selection, what if you want to have a multi selection — rioV8

Oddly, the shortest syntax appears to be ./file:1:2-3.4 . From starball's list and tested in the terminal. — Mark

There's a list of supported formats in terminalLinkParsing at the definition of lineAndColumnRegexClauses.

At the time of this writing, among the supported formats, I see

foo:339:12-789
foo:339:12-341.789
"foo",339.12-789
"foo",339.12-341.789
"foo", lines 339-341
"foo", lines 339-341, characters 12-789
