When a hyperlink is included in the RPROMPT, zsh mistakenly thinks the
RPROMPT is longer than it actually is. This results in the RPROMPT not
being aligned all the way to the right but floats further to the middle.
A minimal .zshrc demonstrating the bug:
```
RPROMPT=$(eval "echo '\e]8;;http://example.com\aThis is a link\e]8;;\a'")
```
The hyperlink specification is here:

Please feel free to email me or cc me with any followup.

You need to use %{ and %} around non-printable escape sequences in your prompt.

In this case he needs %{ %} around everything but "This is a link"
because the entire URL is "non-printable":
RPROMPT=$(eval "echo '%{\e]8;;http://example.com\a%}This is a
link%{\e]8;;\a%}'")
