Ok, i think now i understand your problem.

  1. Create a new FIELD inside your DATABASE and set it as TYPE → URL
  2. You have a dynamic setup, that means every of your pages is a value inside your DATABASE. And also for every of your values a dynamic - LINK will be created automaticaly.

But to generate the right LINK-FORMAT, i think you will need the FULL-LINK, which you than copy to the new generated URL-FIELD ( your idea could work )!

Open one of your dynamic pages…and you will get something like…
https://joshwelchwebsites.wixsite.com/my-site-3/hikes/arthurs-seat-eagle-summit-walk

This link concists of 3-parts:

  1. https://joshwelchwebsites.wixsite.com/my-site-3
  2. /hikes/
  3. arthurs-seat-eagle-summit-walk

So your idea is good and all you have to do is to generate a normal LINK-URL out of your dynamic setup.

The following one is - - > STATIC - - > It will be the BASE-URL…

let baseURL = "https://joshwelchwebsites.wixsite.com/my-site-3"; console.log(baseURL);

Then you have a field called → Recipes(All), there you can get the middle-part…
let let us call it - → PREFIX…

let prefix = getCurrentItem()["ID_OF_RECIPES_ALL_FIELD_HERE"]; console.log(prefix);

And the last part you can get from —> Recipes(Name)

let itemURL = getCurrentItem()["ID_OF_RECIPES_NAME_FIELD_HERE"]; console.log(itemURL);

Put everything together and make it work…

$w.onReady(()=>{
   $w('#myDataset').onReady(()=>{
      let currentItem = $w('#myDataset').getCurrentItem(); console.log(currentItem);
      // and so on ......
      // add the given code above here & put everything together....
   });
});

Good luck!
