I am working on a .NET project so I am using NEST. I want to index an object that has a URL property. I want to index it in such a way that Kibana recognises that it is a URL and allows me to click on it to open the URL that it is pointing to.

I tried this:

```auto
class MyClass
{
   Uri MyLink { get; set; }
}

```

This succeeds in generating the index using auto mapping, but when I try and insert any data, I get the following error;

> index returned 400 \_index: myindex \_type: \_doc \_id: 123 \_version: 0 error: Type: mapper\_parsing\_exception Reason: "object mapping for [myLink] tried to parse field [myLink] as object, but found a concrete value"

How can I get this to work? And even if I did get it to work, would it be a clickable link in Kibana? I.e. if I expand an item in the Discover tab, will I be able to click on the link?
