This would be interesting for a terminal based web alternative. A practical use would be something like O'Reilly's Safari Books Online.
The author mentions that fancy Gemini reader apps could allow linking to images, since that some terminals allow images to be displayed[1] that would fit nicely too.
Why not just use text based websites and something like w3m? Well it's hard to tell when opening a link in the terminal will be useful and when it would be better to open the link in a "real" browser like Firefox.
e.g. after a git push to github I'm provided with a link to create a PR. I really when I click that link I really want it to open in Firefox.
[1] Off the top of my head Kitty and iTerm2 both allow image display from apps such as the ranger file manager.
