Is there any way to make a URL "clickable" in a video, using MVP15?

Hi all.

I'm just finishing up a 16 minute video on a destination in China. I have added the URL of the official government web site for the city at the end of the video, to give viewers a source for more information. It's a very complicated URL, with multiple slashes and periods, and ending in html....typical bureaucratic approach to things. Most people seeing it on screen will never remember it. Is there a way to make it "clickable" on screen? It will be posted on YouTube, and yes, I can put it in the description, but I'm not sure how many people read those things. I even tried TinyURL, but it doesn't seem to like the URL either. Suggestions?

You can insert clickable URLs in Vegas Pro using "Commands". But this only works for WMV output.

For the use via YouTube it makes to output such a file from Vegas Pro because YouTube always re-encodes. You need to insert URLs via the YouTube video editor.

Thank you Marco. I will check out the YT video editor. Have never used it before. Guess I should explore what else it does.
