#HREF fields - accessible tool tip vs URL

Hello all,

Maybe I missed this and you can direct me to the proper instructions.  Here is my issue:

I create an #HREF custom field so that the signer can read a State Statute on the legislative website.  And that works just fine.  The problem is the URL is really long and since the URL is in the tool tip, a signer who is using a screen reader has to listen to a really long URL.  If, when creating the form, I change the tool tip to match WCAG standard for hyperlinks the link breaks.  

Are those using screen readers doomed to listen to obnoxiously long hyperlinks (including the https://) or is there a workaround?

Thanks
