Ctrl+Click and Ctrl+Enter open Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]] in Omawrite and http(s) or markdown links in the browser. Missing notes are left alone and named in the status bar. Clickable ranges include the hidden markup so a click on the visible label still hits.

Reworked from omacom#8 by @mohit-dayma. omacom#8 adds a third hover-enabled MouseArea over the editor, on top of the one omacom#40 uses for Ctrl+click and the ones omacom#66 uses for checkboxes, and carries its own `destination` span through InlineMarkup to find the URL text. Three overlapping grabs is a fight waiting to happen, and omacom#40 already resolves the link to a string. So the hover rides omacom#40's existing MouseArea and reads its `target`. The destination shows above the footer: outside the editor's own clip, so a link near the bottom edge is still readable, and out of the footer's fixed row of controls, because a path is as long as it is. The cursor still answers to Ctrl, because Ctrl is what follows the link. The destination shows either way -- reading it is what tells you whether to hold Ctrl at all.
