1. URL may change in future, bug number — unlikely. 2. Bug number can be easily typed, URL has to be copied or generated by some tool. 3. Too many text, hard to read. Some bugs may refer to a dozen of URLs. 4. It is easier to copy a number, than selecting and copying whole string. Not all terminals support running browser on URL click. 5. Clicking is less convenient than typing "bugs search $number" — user have to move hands from a keyboard to a mouse — a terrible waste of time, at least in my case with my typing speed.
