create email script and include that in your notification body like this

${mail_script:mailScriptName}

Email script

(function runMailScript( /* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
    /* Optional EmailOutbound */
    email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
    /* Optional GlideRecord */
    event) {

    // Add your code here
    template.print('<a href="' + current.variables.variableName + '">Click here to view link</href>');


})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Hi @Kiruthika J 
To do so, use "Email Script", then use that email script in your Notification.
Email Script:

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

      template.print('<a href="' + current.variables.variableName + '" target="_blank"> Click Here </a>');

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

To use this email script in your notification, add this as

${mail_script:<<name of the script you created>>}

@Kiruthika J ,

 you can achieve this by creating a Mail Script (under System Notification → Email → Notification Email Scripts) that reads the catalog item variable (e.g. current.variables.your_variable_name) and prints it as an HTML link, for example.......

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {
var url = current.variables.your_url_variable;
if (url) {
template.print('<a href="' + url + '" target="_blank">URL</a>');
}
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Then in your Notification message  you include it like this....

${mail_script:your_mail_script_name}
