This is possible with pgf backend:

    "pgf.preamble": [
        r"\usepackage{hyperref}"
        ]
}
matplotlib.rcParams.update(pgf_with_custom_preamble)
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

x = range(5)
y = range(5)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y, "r-", label=r"Hyperlink: \url{http://google.com}")

ax.legend()

fig.savefig("mwe.pdf")
