Ability to open a file by Option-clicking on its name/path in the terminal - hyperlinks

It is something quite common to get error logs with detailed information about file and line where the problem is detected:

./tests/tests.py:1208:17: E128 continuation line under-indented for visual indent
./tests/tests.py:1217:13: E128 continuation line under-indented for visual indent
./tests/tests.py:1225:13: E128 continuation line

By clicking on the filename/path iterm2 should just open the default editor at the same line. this could be implemented by just calling pasting "$EDITOR %s^\n" in the terminal. I know that some people may want to open them in other GUI apps from the mac but this would now work when you are connected to another machine.

Still the paste trick should work in most cases, and if the string to be pasted is configurable it would be better.
