Description

Wezterm allows clicking on links to then invoke xdg-open to open the URL in question. Interactive khal disables this functionality. Additionally, normal mouse based copy and paste don't work. Would it be possible to add these features or, alternatively, add a flag to disable mouse support so that ikhal doesn't get in the way of normal mouse semantics?

Research direction
Investigate how khal handles mouse input and terminal interaction. Look for existing configuration flags or key binding mechanisms in the codebase, possibly in the event handling or UI modules. Determine if adding a configuration option to disable mouse support or implementing proper mouse event handling is feasible, considering the terminal's behavior (e.g., Wezterm). Check comments for further context on desired behavior.
