Hyperlink Options in BI Viewer

Question

Hi - I am working on a BI Viewer dashboard and need some help with hyperlink formatting.  I am using a SQL data adapter to an external database which amongst other things, is fetching an internet URL which we are trying to display as a hyperlink with alternative text.  Ideally we'd be able to display text from an alternate line item but I'd settle for something static (i.e. "link").  Thus far I haven't found a way to display anything other than the link text itself and couldn't find anything in the documentation that references the "hyperlink" option under "Data Items / Column Options".
Example of current output:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
