Then you were persuaded wrong; the actual answer was "this isn't a
meaningful question since it's based on incorrect assumptions."
Translating that to "No" is just as much a mistake as
translating it to
"Yes."

Actually, your statement "this isn't a meaningful question since it's based on
incorrect assumptions" is false. PyCharm outputs clickable links to the
console, but they aren't web links, they simply link to lines of code.

Nope. PyCharm outputs text to the console that the console chooses to interpret as a link and makes clickable. As Stephen pointed out right back at the beginning of this thread, printing the textual string that is a URL could do exactly the same thing *if* the console you print to chooses to interpret it as such. The choice is with the console, not your program; that there is the incorrect assumption.
