problem_statement: Support hyperlinks encoded as terminal escape sequences
Some terminals support [clickable text](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda) via escape sequences. If we use the escape sequence

```python
>>> import tabulate
>>>
>>> def encode_url(text: str, target:str):
...     return f"\u001b]8;;{target}\u001b\\{text}\u001b]8;;\u001b\\"
... 
>>> table = tabulate.tabulate([[encode_url("test", "http://example.org")]], headers=["test"], tablefmt="grid")
>>> print(table)
+--------+
| test   |
+========+
| test        |
+--------+
```

tabulate does not calculate the width correctly.
