You need to type something into the "Enter name (optional):" field in the link tool dialogue - as you can see in my previous screenshot. Then it will appear in the Book Details panel, and you can click it to open the url in your browser - viz:

As for the Cover Generator - it would appear that it doesn't handle long text HTML columns as I would expect, i.e. show the rendered text rather than the HTML text. And I would regard that as a bug - you could report it at ==>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre

Note: I cloak long text columns with icons in the book list to save space and keep things tidy, and I change them by pressing F2 on the book list cells.
