Aidon,
Here's an example of how I handle similar needs for "conditioned" buttons - one which take various actions and have various wording or styling depending on other fields on the record.
In this example, the user will be able to add a contact where the record has data about a new person (e.g., a new, unrecognized email) and about an organization whose web-domain is either know to the app or not known. Accordingly, the button displays on a report either as "Add Person to KNOWN Organization" or "Add Person to NEW Organization".
The button uses a URL computed as a var in portions of the formula field not shown in the screenshot above. It also uses custom styling that is defined in app-wide variables (the three "[customButton...]" variables. This is a convenience to make it easier to standarding the app's buttons without constant cut-and-paste.

Thank you for your insight. I've been getting into the magic URL buttons recently and it's amazing how you can reduce workflows down to a single click. Looking forward to using these more.
Best,
