It would be great if we could set an alias for a link template when defining a link renderer. Very often we have a URL in a table, and we just want to present "Click Here", rather than a 2,000 character URL.
We have tried creating calculated columns which define a string based "<a>" tag, but these do not get rendered as links in the client.
This link aliasing could be achieved if the link template syntax allowed us to reference other columns, which would be great. Then we just create a calculated column with the text "Click Me", but the link template was simply something like [URL_TEXT] to reference the field with the actual URL in it.
In the absence of the link template syntax being able to reference other columns, just an option when setting up the link template to add a link label, would be a very simple solution.
I cant be the only one who doesn't want to present massive URLs in my dashboards.
