Transitioning from the CSM portal to a URL outside of ServiceNow

[Minamizono]

Is it possible to satisfy the following three conditions at the same time when transitioning from the portal to a URL outside of ServiceNow?
We would like to realize the following functions when transitioning to a URL outside of ServiceNow from a quick link or menu.

(1) Click on the link
(2) Obtain the destination URL and user data from the user (customer_contact) data in the client script(assuming the destination URL and other data are registered in a specific table)
(3) Create the page to jump to using the data from (2) above.

Hi,

Here are the steps to redirect URL outside of Servicenow

1. Navigate to Service Portal - > Widgets and create a new widget. eg. Redirect Menu

Server Script

(function() {
    // Get the key from the URL parameter
    var key = $sp.getParameter('key');
    // Fetch the system property (JSON string)
    var urlsJson = gs.getProperty('portal.menu.url');
    var obj = JSON.parse(urlsJson);
    var result =  obj[key];
    data.targetUrl = result;
})();

Client Script

api.controller=function($scope, $window) {
  /* widget controller */
  var c = this;

  // Redirect to the URL fetched from the system property
  $window.location.href = $scope.data.targetUrl;


};

 2. Create a system property to store menu URLs

Name - portal.menu.url

Value - {"menu_A" : "https://www.servicenow.com/","menu_B" : "https://www.google.com/"}

3. Navigate to Service Portal - > Pages and create a new page. E.g. redirect_menu_url

4. Add the widget created in step 1 to the new page

5. Go to the Service Portal Menu Item and pass the key and page id in HREF/URL

Note : You can add the logic to the widget to fetch the logged in user data and obtain the destination URL
