Your question is very generic – not enough details to be able to advise. there are a lot of options already:
There are quite a few link types currently predefined
http://wpusersplugin.com/2860/adding-a-link-to-user-list-field/
and then there are add-ons which give link types to profile pages created by other plugins eg buddypress
If your specific Post or URL is different for each users (not a formula or algorithm) then maybe use the users url ?
Or if you are using a third party plugin to generate profile pages – tell me which and I’ll see if it’s worth doing an add-on.
Lastly you could always have a teeny little add-on written to add a formatting routine which would generate the link for each users. It could either add a link type or just format that specific field

Thanks I had a look at those options prior to posting .
It is difficult to discern what comes from the free plugin and what requires the upgrade.
want the text or avatar to link to the specific URL on the site its on.
Not archive or users web link
No membership or BP
Single site using display front end for public access to specifics about site users.
Maybe the graphic will assist
thanks so much again

Hi Beheard, if you see the linktype and it’s choosable in the free version settings screen, then it’s in the free version, and the others are in add-ons. You have got the free plugin installed and you have looked at the settings for each list ? The link types are there in the settings in the row for each field.
Yes you can link to a specific url HOWEVER IF it is a totally custom method of determing that specfic url, you’d have to have a tiny addon to do the logic.
Back to your “specific url”. Apologies but this feels a bit like pulling teeth here to try understand what you are getting at. If you want free help you have to provide more info on what it is you are trying to do:
How is this specific URL linked to the user? How would a piece of code KNOW to link clicking on a field for a user to the ‘specific url’ for that user?
I’m assuming it’s not the same URL for every user ?
And since you are persisting with queries, it sounds like the url is
-
not a wordpress author profile (bio) page (why not?),
- and not the users URL that is maintainable via the user profile (again why not?)
Either of the above would seem to suit your requirement (one internal to wp, one possible external ) If you are randomly creating pages for users perhaps you need to relook at your overall design?
