Why not simply:

\def\href#1#2{\goto{#2}[url(#1)]}

Or did I miss something?

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.
