The panel uses Reps, which automatically "linkify" links in strings. But in order to be handled, we need to pass an `openLink` prop to Rep so it can actually open the link in a new tab (see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/webconsole/utils/object-inspector.js#67)

Comment on attachment 8981473 [details] [diff] [review] 1455276 patch Review of attachment 8981473 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This looks good to me, thanks yura. It would be nice to have a test to make sure it works as intended. Also, we could handle Ctrl/Cmd + click to open tab in the background (see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5a744713370ec47969595e369fd5125f123e6d24/devtools/client/webconsole/hudservice.js#367-371)
