Custom column with URL and label

I use calibre to organize PDFs of music. I'd like to link to a youtube or spotify address. How would I make a custom column that contains the link, shows a generic label like "YouTube" (or an icon), and allows me to click on it from the main grid?

See => Preferences->Look & feel->Book Details->Create rules to convert identifiers into links. Button, above the lists.

Or a custom column of type: Long text, like comments, not shown in the Tag browser in which you can post HTML links e.g.

Code:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kbLwvqugk">Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero</a>
EDIT: I don't know how to make either clickable in the Book list or Cover grid
