I have a single line of text column in a sharepoint online list that is being populated with a dynamic value added by a workflow (the value is a url + the current created item ID added to it). And as the url that is returned is quite long and is taking too much of space in the list, I would like to replace the returned and populated url in the column with a shorter text, let's say 'Link' that will still lead to the destination generated by the workflow. Was looking for a way to do that on the net, but no success so far. Your help will be very much appreciated!

You can set the column (rich text column) in your workflow , instead of adding the url , add a link html tag , check the below example
replace [%Workflow Context:Current Item URL%] with your generated url.
<a href=[%Workflow Context:Current Item URL%]>Link</a>
What worked for me is the solution given in this article, used a REST call in a workflow to make it work:
