[FEATURE]:[Web]: Clickable file:line references in messages (jump to file and line) #13430
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
In the OpenCode web UI, references to source files with line numbers (e.g. src/foo/bar.ts:123) shown in assistant messages or logs are currently rendered as plain text.
I would like these references to be clickable, so that clicking them:
- Opens the referenced file in the web file viewer
- Automatically scrolls to (or highlights) the specified line number
This would bring the web experience closer to the desktop version and significantly improve code navigation and review workflows.
Example
When a message contains something like:
src/XXXX.Core/XXXXX/XXXXXXX.cs:545
*.txt
Plaintext
Clicking it should:
- Open
XXXXXXX.csin the web file viewer - Jump directly to line
545(or the closest available line)
Why this matters
- This is a very common workflow when reviewing explanations, logs, or analysis generated by OpenCode.
- On desktop, similar references can already be navigated efficiently.
- On web, users currently have to:
- Manually search for the file
- Scroll to the line number by hand
- This breaks context and slows down debugging, review, and learning workflows.
For users relying on the web UI (including remote access or mirror use cases), this missing feature is especially noticeable.
Expected behavior / possible implementation
Possible approaches (implementation detail up to maintainers):
- Detect
path/to/file:linepatterns in rendered messages - Render them as clickable links
- On click:
- Open the file in the existing web file viewer
- Scroll to / focus the target line
- Gracefully handle cases where:
- The file does not exist
- The line number is out of range
Even a minimal implementation (open file + approximate scroll) would already be a big usability improvement.
Current behavior
- File and line references are displayed as plain text
- No navigation or interaction is available from messages in the web UI
Additional context
This feature would also align well with ongoing efforts to improve web/desktop parity and make the web UI more suitable for serious code review and debugging tasks.
If needed, I can provide screenshots or short screen recordings to demonstrate the current limitation.

I opened a duplicate by mistake in #17816, but this is the right issue.
I have a working local implementation of this in the desktop app.
A few behaviors it currently covers:
utils.pyfile:linerefs likeutils.py:123utils.py:123-130/and\Attaching a short video showing the behavior.
If useful, I can open a PR or compare these behaviors against #15269 so the remaining gaps are clear.

It doesn't seem like Desktop has it either, at least in 1.14.32.
file:line are rendered as plain text without an ability to navigate to them.
