Extend URL widget features to ease customization of anchor's text.

By default the URL widget will show the plain URL.
You can specify an attribute `text` to provide a static label too.

With this module you can use a field for link's inner text.

**Table of contents**

.. contents::
   :local:

Usage
=====

Use `url` widget as you do usually, then add an extra parameter `text_field`
to indicate which field (present in the view already) must be used for the anchor text.


.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="some_url" widget="url" text_field="another_field" />

M2O fields are supported: `display_name` is used automatically.


For example, in the partner form,
if you want to display the website link with partner's name as anchor you can do:


.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="website" widget="url" text_field="name" placeholder="e.g. www.odoo.com"/>

This is going to change the rendering from

to
