I have solved this by putting the url into a 'note' like this:<br>
<br>
@article{Bajic2024,<br>
author = "D. Baji\'{c}",<br>
title = "Information Theory, Living Systems, and Communication Engineering",<br>
journal = "Entropy",<br>
publisher = "MDPI AG",<br>
volume = "26",<br>
number = "5",<br>
month = "",<br>
pages = "430",<br>
note = "\url{<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/e26050430" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3390/e26050430</a>}",<br>
comment = "2024/05/20_18:37:41 Google Scholar",<br>
year = "2024"}<br>
<br>
It displays just fine and the link works.<br>
<br>
One can have several urls:<br>
<br>
note = "\url{<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/e26050430" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3390/e26050430</a>},<br>
\url{<a href="https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/26/5/430" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/26/5/430</a>}",<br>
<br>
and they all work. Since it is a note, one can add other information<br>
about the links too.<br>
<br>
