It's mostly development tools, addr2line is another one.

Sublime Text and VSCode also know about this format.

I have this now, but proper integration would be nicer as I don't have
to keep a script around and it would just work™ on any machine.

nanoriot() {
    file=$(echo $1 | cut -d : -f 1)
    line=$(echo $1 | cut -d : -f 2)
    if [ -z "$line" ]; then
        nano -E -T4 $file
    else
       nano -E -T4 +$line $file
    fi
}
