You can use the concatenate function and create a new column CONCATENATE("http://companyesite.com/account/customerhome.aspx?accid=",[account_id]) and create a new field. You can then embed this in a table view and then enable the URL icon in the formatting section of the table.

 

The article below will give you a detailed visual explanation of how to enable the URL Icon in your table which will replace the long text into a nicely formatted icon which the users can click.

By default the link opens in a new tab so you dont have to worry about that either.
