Modify URL formatted field's display text

I'm trying to modify the URL formatted field within a grid to be a more user friendly look and feel.

I have two approaches I am attempting:

First Approach:

1. Add an icon within the URL column. (already implemented)

2. Make the icon clickable and redirect user to URL. < is this possible? >

3. Remove URL from grid column (display no text to user for said field, only show clickable icon). < is this possible? >

Second Approach:

1. Change displayed text within grid column to user friendly text.

I would love to get the first approach implemented but will settle with second approach (as displaying the full URL is NOT a possibility).

Would like to see how you added an icon to a Single Line of Text field (have never used the URL format) but, no, such functionality would require you go beyond the out-of-the-box and create your own web resources. In any supported fashion, that is.

//display icon and tooltip for the grid column (userLCID is handled automatically)

function DisplayGridIcon(rowData, userLCID) {

// var str = JSON.parse(rowData);

//field name is lowercase, with a capital V in value

//var coldata = str.plus_projecthealth_Value;

var imgName = "";

var tooltip = "";

imgName = "xxx_pdfIcon"; // web resource name

tooltip = "View File"; // appears on hover

var resultarray = [imgName, tooltip];

return resultarray;

}
