Can you define a button in LPL with a navigation link to an external URL?

For instance, use a vendor and invoice number to construct a URL, and have it available in a form of a button on a list view? Our model / template code is below

button of "ViewImage"
visible when (InvoiceImageEntered)
view first PayablesInvoiceDocumentInvoiceTypeRel.Attachment.File
display as link

Desired pseudo code would be

button of "SomethingElse"

visible always

view "">example.com

display as link

I was able to find the answer for this; using things like <vendor> and <invoice> within the string yields perfect results. I just may have to test invoices with spaces, to ensure the appropriate string is passed (%20), so the URL is not "broken".

try this

button of untranslatable:"Google"
link is external "https://google.com"
display as link

That is precisely what I needed, with one notable addition: can I concatenate the URL string with some infor resident fields and make it variable, based on the line of data it appears on?
