@Gysbert_Wassenaar unless i am interpreting differently, you can have a variable in the URL (indicated by ellipses to accept function).

create a variable called vUrl defined as: www.google.com

The open URL can open ='$(vUrl)'

So with this yes you should be able to store your url from db into a variable.  i'm sure you can have this evaluated in the context of your selections if you want filters to determine different URLs with a calculation.

No, I don't think so. Variables don't work. You could try a macro. Perhaps using a straight table is an option. You can add hyperlinks to straight tables.

@stevejoyce: you're right. I made a typo in my test. It works as you say.
