Hey @anon72164628 using the [people custom field](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/custom-fields#gl-limitations) would help here no?

In the text field yes correct the URL is displayed based on what you enter but it is still in text form. You can click “Visit link” to open the site

Also in the CSV export it shows as text unless formatted otherwise

Unless I am misunderstanding something about your request?
