How can I define some simple code to use as a filter for the file decorators?

You can see this ticket #1731 for my train of thought.

I have a working setup now where I'm able to munge delta's output via git log -p --color | head -n100 | delta | sed -E '...' and this is okay, however there are some things that I don't like about it:

• it being part of a pipeline means no access to tty info, and thus no width, and thus no proper full line background color style rendering for the changes, which I'm realizing a bit late are critical.
• similarly the horizontal bar under the default file decorator is only 80 chars wide since we don't have a tty handle

So it looks like I want the tty handle back and that means no using delta in a pipeline to add hyperlinks after delta renders, womp.

Maybe we can define a filter program we can put the file name through? Or even something so specific as a config to enable osc8 hyperlinks that produce absolute path hyperlinks for all files since we know prepending the git repo path to the filename would yield an absolute path. But here I will still need for my own use case special stuff like the system hostname in that hyperlink.

I think the practical approach here will be for me to dive into the code and add this capability myself. Nothing, including lack of rust experience, stops me from doing that today, now that aforementioned AI can code. Will report back how that goes!

I made some progress already but just found out that it looks like delta already has hyperlink support for both logs and blames. Need to review that.
