Just FYI, here is the documentation for this feature:

Yes, but is there a way to do like <a href="http://www.website.com">click here</a>. The problem with the hyperlinks is that they can be very, very long and we don't want to show the whole query. Thanks!
Did you ever get an answer this by any chance? I would also like to use hyperlinks but some of the URL's are 60 characters or more. Not great on a dashboard!
Thanks
If you've already set a column with links and you don't want to show the entire link on each row of the table or matrix then you can simply follow the steps to convert a link into a link icon, provided that you have dragged the links column in the Values box of Fields icon in the Visualizations pane
1. Select the table tile
2. Click on the Paint Roller icon
of the Format tab of Visualizations pane on the right hand of the Power BI window3. Expand the Values section and enable the URL icon
- this will show an icon instead of the entire URLDid you ever get an answer this by any chance? I would also like to use hyperlinks but some of the URL's are 60 characters or more. Not great on a dashboard!

I finally found the solution -- select the "URL Icon option" under the "Values" section on the grid "Format" tab. This displays the URL as a "chain link" icon instead of the full URL.
