Clicked URL contains unwanted delimiter

Windows build number

10.0.22631.0

Other Software

My screenshot is a irssi inside a screen over SSH inside WSL Debian, but it happens in any environment.

Steps to reproduce

Have a link wrapped with <> in your terminal, for example in bash:

echo "Some URL: <https://github.com>"

And click the link in the output.

Expected Behavior

The parsed link should not include the > character. Angle brackets are a common URL/IRI delimiter, which is not allowed in IRIs.

Actual Behavior

The opened link will include the > character, which can lead to interesting behaviour. The example above with Github leads me to an empty tab, the example from the screenshot below leads to a 404 (which isn't the case when the > is removed).

Also note that the > isn't actually underlined (which is good), but it is included in the mouseover and when clicked.
