Nope.  PyCharm outputs text to the console that the console chooses to 
interpret as a link and makes clickable.  As Stephen pointed out right 
back at the beginning of this thread, printing the textual string that 
is a URL could do exactly the same thing *if* the console you print to 
chooses to interpret it as such.  The choice is with the console, not 
your program; that there is the incorrect assumption.
