Hi @Markus W_ BENES,

This is currently not possible, and we do have a Feature Request raised for this: SRJIRA-2360

As a workaround, you can have the Web Item execute a Custom Rest Endpoint by providing its relative URL in the Link field. Then, you can do any custom scripting in the endpoint code and redirect the user to a dynamic URL, similar to the following example: Web Item (Redirect)

As an example, here is my Web Item configuration:

And here is my Rest Endpoint script:

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response

import java.net.URLEncoder

@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate

doSomething(httpMethod: "GET", groups: ["jira-administrators"]) { MultivaluedMap queryParams, String body ->

def myVariable = "Hello World"
    def encodedString = URLEncoder.encode(myVariable)

Response.temporaryRedirect(URI.create("https://www.google.com/search?q=${encodedString}")).build()
}

Clicking on the Web Item will redirect me to a Google page with a searched query 'Hello World'.I hope this helps!Kind Regards,
Helmy
