[bug #45034] [PATCH] mdoc(7): add support for the mdocmx(7) reference extension

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #45034 (project groff):

In the meantime less got support for OSC 8 "hyperlinks in terminal", and i
changed the three lines in mdocmx to create \X'tty: osc8 ...' for the TTY
output device instead.

Please find attached a patch for grotty that implements \X'tty: osc8'
sequences, which _any_ converter can easily use to create manual pages with
references. (For grotty git as of 2021-05-2?.)

As well as a patch that implements OSC 8 id= searches in less(1) (v586) for
active references and even external manual lookups.

I will not update the mdocmx macros etc. patch here.  But it exists, shall
interest arise.  (It is based upon groff 1.22.3.)
