You are correct this mod would not work for that.

You could try the "replacement variable manager" in your style manager- that will override any text with any other text, so you could change all instances of:

www.amazon.com

to

www.ebay.com

very easily. However it will run into problems if you have a link like:

www.amazon.com/product1/

which will change it to

www.ebay.com/product1/

which may not be a valid link.

It's either going to be a lot of time entering every possible link with a custom replacement or a high risk of broken links.
