Hyperlinked Socials Icon was created by huntrdog
I have a Web Address field (cb_facebook) with the "Hypertext and URL" selected.If I set the Profile Value Layout to <i class="fa-brands fa-facebook fa-xl"></i>the icon displays correctly, but the hyperlink is lost. If I use [value], the hyperlink renders, but I cannot replace the link text with a Font Awesome icon.What substitution should be used in the Layout Parameters to output a clickable Font Awesome icon while preserving the field URL?

You can use a [FIELD_NAME] substitution to get the raw value. [value] will always be the original field value that the layout is overriding. Be sure "Web Address Type" is set to "URL Only" though otherwise the substitution will be the Hypertext and the URL.
