I don't know if this is actually that revolutionary, but I struggled to find examples on the forum but couldn't find one, but I was able to come up with a thing that works. 

Sharing this, it'll either be "duh, we all know that", or maybe something that others haven't done yet, my bet is on the former.

I have a form that people post URLs. I want others to be able to click on that link on other forms.

I have a url field (task link) and a another formula field called ClickLink

Formula: (note, I hardcoded the label for this test)

Then when I added it as a header field on the fillout form, it allows me a link that users can select:

Id like to do this same thing, and am having a weird problem. When I try to do this, my clickable link is not the right address that I put in airtable, which was www.google.com - As you can see in the screenshot, the clickable link is "https://forms.fillout.com/t/www.google.com" - which is obviously not correct. I can't figure out what I've done wrong for the life of me. Thoughts?

Hmm... Not sure what to suggest. In my situation the link I wanted to send them to was another fillout link, so it did what I wanted. I didn't try to send a URL outside of the platform. My guess is that they probably have a filter of sorts to prevent redirects that could be used for nefarious reasons.
