Problem

Artifacts are great for storing results of builds, but often its not a file that has been generated, but a url, a link to some resource.

In my specific case, we are generating iOS app builds, and upload the build to a service from which we can download to the device, this service generates a url that is specific to this build - it would be awesome to able to click a button next to the pipeline/job and go directly to that url.

Its similar to environments, but for that you have to know the url in advance, you cannot export it from the build script.

Proposal

  1. instead of having a button, 'download artifacts' would have a button like 'see artifact' and it would send you to the url.
  2. the url would most likely come from a a file that was generated by the build, specified in the job as artifacts.url
