I use this:

% Define \Site[id][url]{description} to put in a clickable link

% with footnoted URL

\def\Site[#1][#2]#3{\useURL[#1][#2][][#3]\from[#1]\footnote[#1]{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#2}}}

That way people reading PDFs on a computer can click the site name in the
text to go there, and not have to see a URL; those with printed copies can
look at the footnote at the bottom of the page to find the URL and type it
in.
