Yup, all of this is correct as I understand it. As I was saying to
Alex a bit earlier, I was attempting to consider ways we might

Thanks! We _do_ have one form of hyperlink support in ms(7); see
doc/webpage.ms in the groff distribution for an example.
But I like the idea of generalizing linking device control commands so
that even "nroff -ms" produces clickable URLs in the terminal (given a
document that defines them).
