Add clickable links

[zeroalphagit]

Can you please allow clickable url links? That way a user can click on a link and open a webpage in the toast message.

self.__text_label.setTextInteractionFlags(Qt.TextInteractionFlag.TextBrowserInteraction)
self.__text_label.setOpenExternalLinks(True)

class ClickableLabel(QLabel):
    """A QLabel that supports clickable links"""

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.setOpenExternalLinks(True)
        self.setTextInteractionFlags(Qt.TextInteractionFlag.TextBrowserInteraction)
        self.linkActivated.connect(self._open_link)

    def _open_link(self, url):
        """Open the clicked link in the default browser"""
        try:
            webbrowser.open(url)
        except Exception:
            # Fallback if webbrowser fails
            pass

    def setText(self, text):
        """Set text and automatically convert URLs to clickable links"""
        # Convert plain URLs to HTML links
        linked_text = self._convert_urls_to_links(text)
        super().setText(linked_text)

    def _convert_urls_to_links(self, text):
        """Convert URLs in text to HTML links"""
        # URL regex pattern that matches common URL formats
        url_pattern = re.compile(
            r'(?i)\b(?:'
            r'(?:https?://|www\.)'  # http://, https://, or www.
            r'(?:[^\s<>"{}|\\^`\[\]]*)'  # domain and path
            r'|'
            r'(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}'  # domain.tld
            r'(?:/[^\s<>"{}|\\^`\[\]]*)?'  # optional path
            r')\b'
        )

        def replace_url(match):
            url = match.group(0)
            # Add protocol if missing
            if not url.startswith(('http://', 'https://')):
                if url.startswith('www.'):
                    full_url = 'https://' + url
                else:
                    full_url = 'https://' + url
            else:
                full_url = url

            return f'<a href="{full_url}" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: underline;">{url}</a>'

        # Replace URLs with HTML links
        return url_pattern.sub(replace_url, text)

You can add the following code in src\pyqttoast\toast.py to support url links.

You can check out my demo example here: https://github.com/Cassianvale/pyqttoast/blob/master/demo/pyside6/window.py

My initial proposal is just 2 lines of code I was hoping you could commit to toast.py

self.__text_label.setTextInteractionFlags(Qt.TextInteractionFlag.TextBrowserInteraction)
self.__text_label.setOpenExternalLinks(True)

No need to create that huge class you suggest.

The code also needs to add self.__text_label.setTextFormat(Qt.TextFormat.RichText) to support HTML tags to achieve more complex styles, otherwise the link will not work in some cases. I have deleted the reference to the ClickableLabel function and submitted the code to the PR.
✨ feat(toast): Enable rich text formatting for toast messages

toast.setText('Click <a href="https://www.example.com">this link</a> to visit example.com')

I think this should be enabled on user will, what I ended up doing is simply adding a method:

    def enable_links(self):
        self.__text_label.setOpenExternalLinks(True)

Could be extended to title too, and with richtext if needed

In the meantime @zeroalphagit you can do that:

toast = Toast(....)
toast._Toast__text_label.setOpenExternalLinks(True)

name mangling is ugly, but it unlocks you without changing the base package until the feature is added
