Collection link out action

I have a collection where one of the columns are url links. When people click on the item, I have the primary action for the collection set to take people to that link. Some of the links are non-Glide links, so those are easy and I just copy and paste the link into the appropriate row.

However, I want some of the links to take people to things like their personal profile or another tab within the app. I can easily do this action using a button or action row component, but I really want to use a collection so that I can display the items in a list of general announcements and reminders.

For the non-user specific tabs, I can technically copy and paste the link into the appropriate row, but then it opens it into a new tab on a desktop, and on a phone it opens it kind of weird.

For the user specific link, I don’t know how to do that one without using a button or an action row component. Is there a way to do it the way I’m describing?

I’d probably make it a custom action with different branches to do different things, such as open external links, or open detail screens, or open tabs, etc. Just have a value in your table (used by the collection) to indicate which branch the action should use.
