Since "click on a Web link in a terminal window" is a foreign concept to me (in the terminal I use, links are plain text like any other text, they aren't clickable), I infer that you must be using a different terminal emulator, one which provides a different and arguably richer feature set. If I were in your position, the first two places I'd look would be at the default-browser setting (in particular, the exact method and arguments with which that browser is launched, since there may be command-line arguments which could affect this) and the terminal-emulator configuration.
