Have you tried macro expansion?

I literally just started using this XFRX feature, and asked Martina if it was 
possible to also pass a target attribute when exporting to PDF, but the answer 
to that was no, sadly. However, if you output to HTML instead of PDF there are 
more options and she did indicate she could add the target attribute as 
something supported in direct HTML output. BTW you can also use the FRX user 
data field instead of the comments.

Subject: Creating a hyperlink on a PDF via XFRX.

I'm reporting to PDF using XFRX. I need to create a hyperlink to an internet 
URL.

The method XFRX uses for this is via a string in the Comments field of a report 
expression, so for example if I add a report expression with value = "Click 
Here" and put this in the comments:

#UR A 
HREF="https://www.rte.ie<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/VFUxC9rpyDTVYvYs0htmW?domain=rte.ie>"
 
<https://tinyurl.com/yfzyu2s9<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/A_5fC0R2m0I0rKrhrEoHW?domain=tinyurl.com>>

Then the created PDF will have a clickable "Click Here" link to that site. 
However I need to take the URL from a table field, i.e. not a static string, 
but I can't get it to work. I've tried:

#UR A HREF=#+mytable.myfield
#UR A HREF=mytable.myfield
#UR A HREF=eval(mytable.myfield)

Has anyone ever done this ?
