No, the entire profile field entry is:

[url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/someproduct]My Awesome Computer Part[/url]

You would manually insert a bbcode into the value for the profile field. This means they could specify the name of the component at their own disgression... Like

[url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3867865&Sku=CP2-AM2-9550]AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad Core Processor[/url]

The parser will change that into a regular link, with the name of the part and then if you click on it, it will take you to the URL for more information. Furthermore, if someone doesn't enter any bbCode to the profile field data, it will just display regular text like it does without the change to the plugin.

So for your example, if the field is named "Motherboard" and someone enters "MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1" for the value then it will display like so

Motherboard: MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1

My change to the plugins lets someone enter "[url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4408790&CatId=2838]MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1[/url]" for their value and it will display like so

Motherboard: MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1


It's better than duplicating all of your profile fields to add a URL for a detailed description of each field. Can you dig it?

EDIT:
I've created a customization for this mod and sent it to you via PM, Wired1. It takes out the reliance on "automatic" and "manual" and instead displays all of the profile fields in a profile field category (specified through vboptions). It has the bbCode feature I was talking about too - so you can see how it works.
