Modern Team site - DocLib & List web parts
I think you can achieve what you want by:
- Use the document library option you mentioned above. Create your links using the "Link" content type which gives you the strange ".url" ending
- Set up a "Highlighted Content" web part on your page and connect it to that library. It will display the items in that library and clicking on an item will actually go to the desired URL, not the list item itself.
- You won't see the ".url" extension, just the link title

I'm trying to achieve something similar, with a document library of URL links, but the Highlighted Content web part - which I really want to use - downloads a URL file rather than opening the website.
I've tried the Document Library web part too, and that also downloads the URL file, unless - bizarrely - I add the Name field twice to the view (e.g. "Name:, and "Name (for use on form)"), in which case the site opens.
The Document Library itself works as advertised, but I'm wanting to use the Highlighted Content Web Part, along with Audiences, to put a little intelligence behind our organization's ever expanding list of URLs.
Thanks,
Karl
