Another possibility would be using the `.UR` / `.UE` macros to produce hyperlinks. They are described in groff_man(7) man page.

The macros themselves are supported by groff since 2007, but the next groff version will enable them for terminal devices (using OSC 8 escape sequence). See groff commit 9dadd72a3c9cd40c20e06e80e918a68badf83b0f.

Debian's groff version 1.23.0-1 (and newer) already includes support for them.

Currently, the manpage writer writes a reference like `ALT TEXT <URL>` as just `ALT TEXT`, with alternate font.
Would it be better to render it as, for example, `ALT TEXT [URL]`, so the information is not lost?
