Hello.

The answer depends on the task.

1. To let each object feature its very special URL, it is enough to put
the URL into "comment" field of the object. This feature requires URL
detection enabled (Main page: Configuration: User interface: Detect
URLs in text fields). There can be as many URLs and other text, as
needed (64KB at most, AFAIR).

2. To make certain objects belong to one particular management group
from some fixed set (where each group has a name and a fixed URL), it is
necessary to employ Dictionary structures. This has been already
explained before:
2.1 create a chapter
2.2 bind the chapter to object type(s)
2.3 fill in necessary values
2.4 assign values to objects

I hope it helps.
