I suppose \goto can take a url directoryl, so you don't have to use
\useURL. Have you tried this?

\useURL has four commands:

\useURL
  [ufdhc]
  [http://www.eiffel-forum.org/archive/dominicu/fdh.htm]
  []
  [Unix File/Directory Handling Cluster]

The 4th is the replacement text, so you get the text, and not the
URL. If the 4th is not provided, you just get the url.
