Yes. I would appreciate to have more then one possibility to enter an
Internet address (mail to, url, ...). Because someone living can have more
then one e-mail address. And all can have more then one URL with
genealogical info. I do have 3 URL in some cases (my web page, an other
researcher and WorldConnect).

These are facts.

But a build-in EMAIL and/or URL address could be used for:
- the active contact address (living)
- the main URL (in my case the complete WorldConnect URL) (if deceased)

I'm a UFT user at this moment until TMG 4.0a has been delivered. UFT has
the same problem. And I did implement the solution I mentioned.

But I do also consider an event, the publishing of a printed biography for
that person.

Publishing something about a person is a source but also an event. It will
be an event with "roles" for all those who did participate with the
publication of the book and it will be a source for all those cited in the
book. And I create a source item for the book also, linked it with that
event and with the events cited in the book.

In the case of a web site and/or web page, I will give "primary role" to
the researcher and/or webmaster, and secondary roles to the persons who are
the major link between that genealogy and mine.

Greetings,

Luc
