Great suggestion (Method 2), Grant!
You can take it one step further:
In a new file, create separate named text frames on body pages, one
for each pasted link. It's not necessary to place the named flows on
reference pages. This approach collects all the source flows in one
file. If you keep a single master template file for a document set's
formats and variables, this is another use for that file.

Method 1: Create the hyperlink once manually, copy it, then search &

Note: you will have to do some fiddling to get the character
formatting standardized;
a fix for this it to define a character style (e.g.:
"LINK"), and apply it
to the source word before you copy it. Updating the
style will reset the text.
Method 2: Create the hyperlink once manually, and copy it.
Create a new text flow on a reference page, and paste the link
there.
On the Body page, import the flow (File> Import> File...
Select file, select Reference page flow: <flow_name>,
select "Reformat as plain text")
Once the file is inserted, copy that text, and then search &
replace by pasting.
Advantage to #1: simple.
Advantage to #2: changing the link on the reference page will change it
for all instances.
