Be able to make links in Bases

Use case or problem

Use of Base formulas to create hyperlinks as a formula property. For example, you can then make URL’s that can be dynamically formed and often accessed.

Proposed solution

We need a encodeURIComponent function. A replace function would also be useful.

Then we can use a formula like:

concat("https://google.com/search?q=", encodeURIComponent(file.name))

Current workaround (optional)

None, formula links aren’t rendered in Bases, and can’t be properly encoded (it’s not required for modern browsers, but I am guessing spaces might break the hyperlink rendering in Obsidian).
