[NTG-context] Re: URL in footnote citation

Putting the URL as a hyperlink on the cite title is possible. Note that is is not what APA specifies.

To do this, you need to modify the rendering definitions.

Hello list,

I am trying to get my references that have URLs to automatically set the entry title to the URL and not print the URL after it.

Here is a minimal:

\startbuffer[testdata]
@Article{wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe,
  author        = {{Wikipedia contributors}},
  title         = {Sounds of the Universe},
  year          = {2024},
  url           = {https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid=1224785220},
  note          = "[Online; accessed 20-May-2024]"
}
\stopbuffer

% Setup bibliography...

   % Select References.bib and name it the main database...
   \usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]

   % Citation style...
   \usebtxdefinitions[apa]

   % Use our main dataset for citations...
   \setupbtx[dataset=main]

   \definebtxrendering[main][apa][dataset=main]

   \setupbtxrendering[main][
       pagestate=start,
       continue=yes,
       numbering=yes]

   % Macro to put the citations as footnotes...
   \unexpanded\def\footnotecite{\dodoubleempty\domycite}
   \def\domycite[#1][#2]%
       {\ifsecondargument
           \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry,#1][main::#2]}%
       \else
           \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry][main::#1]}%
       \fi}

\starttext
Some footnote.\footnotecite[wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe]
\stoptext

The footnote renders like so:

Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. Retrieved from
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid
=1224785220 ([Online; accessed 20-May-2024])

It would look much better if it looked like so:

Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. ([Online;
accessed 20-May-2024])

...where "Sounds of the Universe" is linked to the URL in the BibTeX database. Is this possible to do?
