Currently, URL / Smart Link fields in Confluence Databases always show the full URL or fetched page title, which can become unreadable when external links are long.
We have created many catalogs using Confluence Databases and rely heavily on external links. Long URLs reduce readability for stakeholders and make tables hard to scan.
A common workaround is to add a separate text column for names alongside the Smart Link. However, when multiple links appear in the same row, the visibility and readability of the links are still poor.
Allow users to define custom display text for URL / Smart Link fields directly in the database. This would significantly improve the readability and usability of tables used as catalogs and knowledge registers.
