Add alias to a URL

Currently, when an entity has a URL property, hovering over it displays the full URL, which can sometimes be confusing. What if we showed an alias instead when hovering over the icon of the URL property? This way, it would be easier to understand each icon’s purpose at a glance.

We’ve recently added support for Labeled URL, a new format for the URL property. When you create a URL property, you can now set its type to Labeled URL. This lets you define a display label for the link, so the UI shows friendly text.

I am not sure if it ties into this same request - or if it would be separate-but-related - but the idea of aliases/user-friendly labels in other spots where URLs are used would be nice to have as well. For example, when passing an array of URL strings to the job links property for an action run, having something other than the icon displayed (or the icon with hover text, as described above) could help differentiate/communicate purpose for each link.
