Hi @frob ,
As per my test, you could only view the link a URL link points to, but you couldn't edit it. This is by design.
If you want to view the link. Please go to your document library. Change the modern library to classic.
Please Click F12 on your keyboard > Click Ctrl+Shift+C > Select an element in the page to inspect it.
This is the .url you want.
