Yes, it is possible to get the URL from a Link file (.url file) using JSON Column Formatting.

You can get it using this property: [$_ShortcutUrl]. This is an internal name of field which stores the underlying URL for your Link page/item.

Example:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "[$_ShortcutUrl]"
}

Here's the output:

  • Using this [$_ShortcutUrl] is not returning anything to me, just blank. As a text, I'm editing the txtContent of a new single line text column I created only for tests, so it's written exactly like your example. Am I missing something?

  • Can you add screenshot where are you adding JSON? Also add the current code you are using just to see if anything is missed in JSON. Add it to your original question by editing it.
