I would like to link directly to a URL (say, http://www.stackoverflow.com) for a particular distill article post. Is it possible to do this somewhere in the YAML? Somewhere else?

title: "Untitled"
description: |
A new article created using the Distill format.
author:
- name: Nora Jones
url: https://example.com/norajones
affiliation: Spacely Sprockets
affiliation_url: https://example.com/spacelysprokets
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output: distill::distill_article

I have tried passing url to the output parameter and a few alternatives but remain unsuccessful.
Why would I want to do this? I would like to leverage the listing page and categories features from distill, but I do not have the need to have an actual "article" underneath the content. Rather, I want the listing page to serve a direct link (hyperlink) to a different page/site/application. So we retain all the benefits of "post" on a listing page -- of tagging, a preview picture, and a short description -- but I do not have the need to link to an actual post, just a launch point.
NOTE: I am not interested in embedding via an iframe or knitr::include_url or htmltools::includeHTML. I would like to go directly to the resulting page. Think a gallery of shiny apps or existing applications / HTML documents, maybe bookdown books -- think like a "catalog", discovery page, bookmark collection, similar to RStudio's connectwidget package.
