The PR makes Zed'd own `zed://` links clickable in the Zed's integrated terminal. Previously, you had to copy and paste such links. Now you can hover and follow the link on cmd+click: <img width="794" height="354" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-09 at 15 25 18" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c9be498-ba63-4a10-8852-cf2e23fa9597" /> </br></br> **Use case** A CLI tool can output a `zed://` link, e.g. to open a remote dev environment. If Zed's terminal makes them clickable, users can open the remote simply by clicking on the link. More specifically, [we're adding Zed support to dstack](dstackai/dstack#3947). The `dstack` CLI allows users to launch a remote dev environment with GPU. So this PR is needed to make the UX smooth: Users run the `dstack` CLI in the local terminal, the CLI prints the the `zed://` link, and the users can click the link and open a new remote Zed window. **Implementation details** `zed://` links are routed through the OS as other links and not internally. One downside is that dev builds may open an installed Zed version. Made this tradeoff to keep the diff simple. Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Release Notes: - Made `zed://` links clickable in the terminal

…3963) * Add Zed to the dev environment IDE dropdown in the UI Backend support for the `zed` IDE already exists (#3947), but the run launch UI never offered it. Add Zed to the IDE options dropdown and the related form/run types so it can be selected from the UI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix "Open in IDE" link to use server-provided attached_ide_url The run details "Open in IDE" button hand-rolled the URL as `{ide}://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+...`, which is correct only for VS Code forks. Zed — the first non-fork IDE, now selectable in the dropdown — needs `zed://ssh/...`, so the button produced a broken link. Use the per-IDE URL the server already computes and exposes via `JobConnectionInfo.attached_ide_url` (built by `ide.get_url`), making the UI a single source of truth instead of duplicating the URL logic. This also fixes latent issues the hand-rolled URL had for non-primary jobs/replicas (host should be the job name) and IPv6/port formatting. Extend the runs API connection-info test to cover all IDEs (vscode/cursor/windsurf/zed) with and without sshproxy.

Closes #3945
You can run
ide: zeddev environments:and get a zed:// remote project:
As Zed does not require any plugins, we don't need to pre-install the Zed server – it's installed on first connect. The implementation is just the printing of a proper URL scheme.
