Control-click
The fact that you can use Control-click to open URLs in Gnome Terminal is not very discoverable. (Just clicking doesn't do anything; perhaps this is to avoid breaking text selection?) I can't remember how I found out about it myself, but somebody I pointed it out to recently was delighted that they didn't have to use the context menu to open URLs, so I think it deserves wider publicity.

Hmm, double-click doesn't do anything here. Is this something klipper-specific?

Yes, double-click in Gnome Terminal just selects and copies the link in the clipboard.

Klipper detects a change in the clipboard and detects an URL and so proposes to open it with a browser. It works with any application that uses the clipboard, not only Gnome Terminal.
