Describe the bug
When Amazon Q responds in the chat panel with file path links,
clicking them opens an empty browser tab instead of navigating to the file in the IDE editor.
Expected behavior:
Clicking a file link should open that file at the specified line directly in the GoLand editor.
Current behavior:
The link opens in the system browser as a URL, which is not useful.
Suggested implementation:
Use the IntelliJ Platform API to navigate to files:
OpenFileDescriptor or NavigationUtil to open file at a specific line.
Links could use a custom idea:// scheme or be rendered as clickable
IDE-native hyperlinks in the chat panel.
IDE: GoLand (IntelliJ-based)
Plugin: Amazon Q Developer
To reproduce
Open Amazon Q plugin window in Goland
Ask any question about project source code.
Amazon Q provides answer with references to line in code files.
