Unless someone's willing to take up the task of writing code to convert from plain text to HTML (probably via user-defined program which is a relatively significant undertaking) or you learn to program in python and do it yourself, converting from plain text directly to custom columns is easier.

e.g.

Code:

Search field:
#your_source_metadata_column

Search for:
Category: ([^\n]+)

Replace with:
\1

Destination field:
#fandom

Code:

Search field:
#your_source_metadata_column

Search for:
Story URL: https://archiveofourown.org/works/([0-9]+)

Replace with:
\1

Destination field:
#storyId
