Terminal link detection not working when filenames contain brackets or parenthesis

[markdemich-fl]

Type: Bug

I'm working on a next.js project where file paths have square brackets and parenthesis in them. When running my unit tests or doing anything in the terminal that will print out the full path the file, the link detection is stopping at the parens and brackets so I can't easily ctrl-click the filename and go to the file. I tried escaping the brackets and parens with \ and also tried enclosing the entire thing in quotes. Neither worked. It would be nice if either we had control over this in the settings or maybe just not consider delimeters.
