Sure, I usually run backlinks in a small window and thought it would be
easier to see:

Manfrotto.html @ https://www.bhp
Nikon_D70.html @ https://www.bhp
Canon_A600_SLR.html @ https://ww

as opposed to

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p

In either case you can scroll or hover the mouse for a tool tip of the whole 
URL.

Trying to think what the best option is - a @setting to control
formatting of the text?  Maybe defaults to 

  {basename} @ {fullurl}

but can be changed to 

  {fullurl}

or

  {site}/{path}

or something like that?

Cheers -Terry
