Why not set up a fact and for the description or location, use the
hyperlink there. Then when that fact is printed, it would show the link
to your site. I haven't been into the fact setup for a while, but they
are quite flexible and you should be able to make use of that to give
the information (I'm sure it would have to be a hyperlink). As to
returning, I'm not sure that you can do that within the confines of the
fact structure. You can do some simple html editing before uploading to
give a target of blank which, as i recall, will open the link in another
window.
