A script could probably automate this in a nice and friendly way that fits your workflow.

That's when you use the browser.
When you create the HTML page that is being displayed, you type the link text (anchor) AND you type the destination url.
A result can be seen here : view-source:https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link
As you see it can be felt a bit clumsy, but the resulting page is nice and easy to use
as is some scribus created PDF.

PS : the PDFs scribus screates are very heavy documents, fit for professional printers, but not handy for mail.
