Description

Description of Feature:

For inspiration, consider Github's support for a user-provided (or automatically configured via Github Pages) URL:

What value is this feature adding to Source Cooperative?

This could point to a bespoke viewer for the data product or a specific website that describes more about the product (beyond what a README.md is capable of describing)

Research direction

Start by tracing how products are represented in the Source Cooperative web interface and API, including where README content is surfaced. Define how a product-level website URL would be stored, configured, and displayed, then verify that the link works alongside existing product information and supports both bespoke viewers and descriptive sites.
