> Is there a way to make this work with a Formula Rich Text Field?
Yes you can do this with one Formula Rich Text Field with no additional setup other than having a field for the [URL]. Live Demo here:
Web on Tab ~ Display Record 1

Pastie Database

Notes:
(1) The URL must use the https protocol.
(2) Some domains do not allow you to place their URLs within <iframe>s because they set a response header that requires the <iframe>'s src URL to have the same origin as the page hosting the <iframe>:
This happens for https://google.com for instance:
https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bpbzpm7w6?a=dr&rid=102
(3) The Rich Text Formula field [Web] has the following formula (which uses the 3Q&S Technique):
(4) [Web] should be configured to that it does not show up on reports and is not searchable:

I get a blank gray window displaying when trying this.
Here is my code in a Rich Text field:
"<img data-url='" & [GCs Form URL] & "'" &
" src onerror='\n(async () => {\n var url = this.dataset.url;\n this.outerHTML = '<iframe src=${url} width=800px height=600px></iframe>';\n})();\n'>"
[GCs Form URL] is a URL formula type field and I've tested the link and it works. Any help?
