Yeah, the link is more often than not useless because the differentiator is going to be cut off in the ui most of the time. [Coda.io](http://Coda.io) has a really good implementation worth taking a look at, where the link has formatting options, but you can also combine the link/url field with a button for a more custom presentation.

Plus, you can dynamically set the button text via a formula. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/09ab99628b21efe076da3b7b972da343956b12bd.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/e/ecfbef49c72da73012ad6d48d28fc02a563737af.jpeg) You can even use a formula to set the button text and whether the button is enabled or not. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/5/5804d1ca55bb75e51ec2264e839c34d32f0b095a.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/c/cb3c9f12a9ec2af81e2c510cd48a2462d52fabab.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/better-ux-for-opening-external-urls/1415)._
