Question docker mouse uri

click and open a URI link from a terminal in Docker
I am using Docker on Windows (from Powershell) to run a container that runs Rocky Linux. I can run GUI applications (e.g., `xeyes`) from the container by running VcXsrv on Windows, and setting `DISPLAY` to `host.docker.internal:0.0` on Windows and Linux.

What I would like to do is open a URI from the terminal via a mouse click, and have the link open in Docker/Linux rather than on Windows. For example, if I run this:
```sh
$ echo https://www.google.com
https://www.google.com
```
it creates a link that when clicked, opens in my browser on Windows. But I would like it to open through a Docker/Linux web browser application.

If this isn't possible for a URL, then I'm wondering if it might be possible to open a file URI (i.e., in the `file://host/path` format).
