Field to display URL where item type is Website
Where Website is chosen as the item type then it would be useful to have a field that displays the URL, in both the short and long form of the citation in Leganto. Ideally this should be displayed in <angled brackets> in keeping with common reference citation guidelines, but it would also serve as a useful back up if the link were to stop working. This would not need to be a hyperlink and may need to be different to the one that we are using as it would need to exclude any proxy url prefixes that may be in use.

This also has some similarity to this idea:

We note that the Source field (URL) may have elements (proxy prefix) for some users, but it would be useful potentially to be able to display it in some instances.
The treatment of Source as citation metadata is also relevant here in terms of citation formats and being able to export. Possibly the ability to state the Source in the Brief Citation Format would assist?
