If you would like to include a hyperlink in your metadata, you will need to add target=_blank after the url and format it with an anchor tag <a>.

The link URL follows the href= and as shown below the bolded section represents what the user will see.

Adding target=_blank after the url will make the link open into a new browser tab.
